Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
I always loved to call my Lady Rose;
For in her cheeks roses do sweetly glose:
And from her lips she such sweet odours threw,
As roses do 'gainst Phoebus' morning view.
But when I thought to pull't, hope was bereft me;
My rose was gone, and naught but prickles left me.
I always loved to call my Lady Rose;
For in her cheeks roses do sweetly glose:
And from her lips she such sweet odours threw,
As roses do 'gainst Phoebus' morning view.
But when I thought to pull't, hope was bereft me;
My rose was gone, and naught but prickles left me.
