The Nightingale : Whose curious Notes are here explain'd , In a dainty Ditty sweetly fain'd . To a new and much affected Court Tune .

YOu Gallants that resort To Hide Parke or Totnam Court , To recreate , And to elevate your sences when they are out of date , Come listen to my Song , Which doth belong to the Nightingales swéet tongue : T is Musicke rare To heare this little , pretty , dulcid , dainty Philomel how she makes the Woods for to ring , Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing . The Courtiers in their pride , Walking by the gréene Wood side , They doe much admire , When they heare the Quire , of little Birds whose notes aspire , Above all the rest , They fancie best the Nightingales swéet breast , For she doth straine Her little pretty , dulcid , dainty , pleasant throat , with musicke fit for a King , Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing .

The Citizens would faine Heare Philomels swéet straine , But that they feare When they come there , the curious constant Note to heare , And therefore they refuse And will not use the Woods if they can chuse , But yet sometimes , This little , pretty , dulcid , dainty dilly , They delight to heare in the Spring , Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing . The Prentices doe stray , Vpon the first of May , To méet their Loves In the gay gréene Groves , where every one their fancie proves , And with Loves delight , From morne till night , they féed their appetite ; And while they wooe This little , pretty , dulcid , dainty creature , her musicke to them doth bring , Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing .

THe honest labouring Swaine , To extenuate his paine When hee doth plod To his worke abroad , His Hay , or Corne , or Wood to load , It doth ioy his heart , At Plough or Cart , to heare the curious part , Which among the Quire , This little pretty , dulcid , dainty Quirister doth beare , this delight doth bring ; Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing . The Country Milke-maids swéet , When they goe to milke their Neat , In a Summers day , In Iune or May , delight to walke i th' Medowes gay , They doe thinke it long , To heare a Song , from Philomels swéet tongue , In April they Expect this little , pretty , dulcid , dainty bird , when she first proclaimes the Spring , Sweet , sweet , sweet , sweet , Iug , jug , jug , jug , sweet , jug , jug , jug , jug , the Nightingale doth sing .
