O Mistress Mine

Oh mistress mine, where are you roaming?
Oh stay and here! Your true love is coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further, pretty sweeting
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise man’s son doth know

Mistress mine
Mistress mine

What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter
Present joys hath present laughter
What’s to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure

Mistress mine
Mistress mine
Mistress mine

Oh mistress mine, where are you roaming?
Oh stay and here! Your true love is coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further, pretty sweeting
Journeys end in lovers meeting
Every wise man’s son doth know

Mistress mine
Mistress mine
Mistress mine

That can sing both high and low
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure

Mistress mine
Every wise man’s son doth know

Mistress mine
Mistress mine…
