To Mistress Isabell Pennell -
By Saint Mary, my lady,
Your mammy and your daddy
Brought forth a goodly baby!
My maiden Isabel,
Reflaring rosabel.
The fragrant camomel;
The ruddy rosary,
The sovereign rosemary,
The pretty strawberry;
The columbine, the nept,
The jelofer well set,
The proper violet:
Ennewed your colour
Is like the daisy flower
After the April shower;
Star of the morrow gray,
The blossom on the spray,
The freshest flower of May;
Maidenly demure,
Of womanhood the lure;
Wherefore, I make you sure,
It were an heavenly health,
It were an endless wealth,
A life for God himself,
To hear this nightingale
Among the birdes small
Warbling in the vale,
"Dug, dug,
Jug, jug,
Good year and good luck!'
With "Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck!'
