Love for such a cherry lip

1. Love for such a cherry lip
Would be glad to pawn his arrows;
Venus here to take a sip
Would sell her doves and team of sparrows.

Chorus:
But they shall not so;
Hey nonny, nonny no!
None but I this lip must owe,
Hey ‖: nonny, :‖ (×3)
Hey ‖: nonny, :‖ (×5)
Hey ‖: nonny :‖ (×5) no!

2. Did Jove see this wanton eye,
Ganymede must wait no longer;
Phoebe here one night did lie,
Would change her face and look much younger.

Chorus
