All at once well met
Language: English
All at once well met fair ladies, Sing we now our love repaid is. Fa la. Sweet hearts do not forsake us Till night to sleep betake us. Fa la. Cytherea shall requite you, With delight lest sorrow fright you. Fa la. Then help ye dainty ladies To sing our love repaid is. Fa la.
