Above the beauties rare

She most is wont to prize,  
She most is wont to prize,
Above her sunny hair,  
Above her sunny hair,
And all that face to face  
And all that face to face
Her glass repeats of grace.  
Her glass repeats of grace.


For those are still the same  
For those are still the same
To her and all that see:  
To her and all that see:
But oh ! her eyes will flame  
But oh ! her eyes will flame
When they do look on me:  
When they do look on me:
And so above the rest  
And so above the rest
I love her eyes the best.  
I love her eyes the best.

Say, say! saith the music

Who likes my song?

I knew you by your eyes,  
I knew you by your eyes,
That rest on nothing long,  
That rest on nothing long,
And have forgot surprise;  
And have forgot surprise;
And stray
And stray
Stray, O stray! saith the music  
Stray, O stray! saith the music
as mine will stray,  
as mine will stray,
The while my love's away.}}

I love my lady's eyes
Above the beauties rare
She most is wont to prize,
Above her sunny hair,
And all that face to face
Her glass repeats of grace.

For those are still the same
To her and all that see:
But oh ! her eyes will flame
When they do look on me:
And so above the rest
I love her eyes the best.

Now say
Say, say! saith the music
Who likes my song?
I knew you by your eyes,
That rest on nothing long,
And have forgot surprise;
And stray
Stray, O stray! saith the music
as mine will stray,
The while my love's away.
