First choir:
 To The rosy cheeks,
 To the golden row of tresses.
 Oh, Oh, I do not trust
 That you may not be misled by the wicked cupid:
 That you can not,
 That you can not withstand the wicked Cupid:

Second choir:
 Voice out of the noblest of choirs,
 Voice out of the noblest of choirs,
 A simple little angel,
 A simple little angel,
 My singing and joking chosen,
 My Singing, singing and joking chosen, and joking chosen,

First choir:
 But in these woods filled of herbs,
 Whence comes the sound of arms?
 Oh, Oh, the Bow and darts,
 Cause of so much evil.

 Not mine!

 What? no?

 What? no!
