[Verse 1]
Verily, O thou art fair
Two blue eyes and golden hair
And verily, very verily
Other good points elsewhere
[Verse 2]
Verily the fairest rose
Thou hast these and thou hast those
And verily, very verily
All of it where it shows
[Verse 3]
Merrily would life go by
If thou and I could marry
But, when I see thee tarry
With Thomas, Richard, and Harry, Mary
[Verse 4]
Verily thou art two-faced
And protesting thou art chaste
It's verily, very verily
Hardly the best of taste
Thou wert doing
The pursuing
Verily
[Interjection (spoken)]
A most harmonious parcel of musicians, an' it plеase you
Yonder knave on thе bass viol fairly swingeth
I’ faith he'll have worn his doublet down to a singlet ere he's done!
Haha!
[Verse 5]
Verily thy love is frail
Should I fetch thee cakes and ale
Or verily, very verily
A clout on the farthingale
[Verse 6]
Verily thou art unkind
Thou doth know what I've in mind
But verily, very verily
Thou doth excuses find
[Verse 7]
Merrily could I make play
With Joan or Jane
Or Sally
Whilst thou dost shilly-shally
And have a bit of a dilly-dally
[Verse 8]
Verily thou gives me pain
In a place I can't explain
And verily, very verily
If it occurs again
Though it pain thee
I shall brain thee
Verily
