Чарльз Вильерс Стэнфорд (2) - Phoebe - текст песни (слова)

Phoebe sat
 Sweet she sat,
 Sweet sat Phoebe when I saw her,
 White her brow,
 Coy her eye:
 Brow and eye how much you please me?
 
 Words I spent,
 Sighs I sent,
 Sighs and words could never draw her.
 Oh my love
 Thou art lost,
 Since no sight could ever ease thee.
 
 Phoebe sat
 By a fount;
 Sitting by a fount I spied her:
 Sweet her touch,
 Rare her voice;
 Touch and voice what may distain you?
 
 As she sung,
 I did sigh,
 And by sighs whilst that I tried her,
 Oh mine eyes
 You did lose
 Her first sight whose want did pain you.
 
 Phoebe's flocks
 White as wool,
 Yet were Phoebe's locks more whiter.
 Phoebe's eyes,
 Dove-like mild,
 Dove-like eyes both mild and cruel.
 
 Montan swears,
 In your lamps
 He will die for to delight her.
 Phoebe yield,
 Or I die;
 Shall true hearts be fancy's fuel?
