Dead is the Sparrow of my girl, the joy,

Sparrow, my sweeting's most delicious toy,

Whom loved she dearer than her very eyes;

For he was honeyed-pet and anywise

Knew her, as even she her mother knew;

Ne'er from her bosom's harbourage he flew

But 'round her hopping here, there, everywhere,

Piped he to none but her his lady fair.
