sweet honey sucking bees why do you still
surfeit on roses pinks and violets
as if the choicest nectar lay in them
where with you store your curious cabinets?
ah make your flight to melisuavia's lips
there may you revel in ambrosian cheer
where smiling roses and sweet lilies sit
there may you revel in ambrosian cheer
where smiling roses and sweet lilies sit
keeping their springtime graces
keeping their springtime graces all the year
yet sweet take heed
all sweets are hard to get
sting not her soft lips
oh beware of that
for if one flaming dart
come from her eye
was never dart so sharp
ah then you die
was never dart so sharp
ah then you die
you die
