As fair as morn, as fresh as May
Language: English
As fair as morn, as fresh as May a pretty grace in saying Nay; smil'st thou sweet heart? then sing and say ta na na no. But O that love-enchanting eye, lo here my doubtful doom I try: Tell me my sweet, live I or die? She smiles. She frowns. Ay me, I die.
