Farewell, my joy!
Language: English
Farewell, my joy! Adieu, my love and pleasure! To sport and toy We have no longer leisure. Fa la la! Farewell, adieu Until our next consorting! Sweet love, be true! And thus we end our sporting. Fa la la!
Lyrics from the Song-Books of the Elizabethan Age, ed. by A. H. Bullen, London, John C. Nimmo, 1887, page 25.
