Merriment's Sway

O Merriment, that toysome dame
is in the hall gaily a-game
upon a dance reports to sway
now men of earnest will to play.

Flowers adore her comely limbs
and savour all through the place swims
to each nosethirl and to bewray
now men of earnest will to play.

The glass is crowned, and blessed the ear
with dreamcraft and bellies with cheer
she stirs the spirits all the way
now men of earnest will to play.

A world it is to see her sport
and souls her dainties and grace court
marvel her jig, honour her lay
now men of earnest will to play.
