about

I found these excellent words (by Anon) dating back to the 1500s, reprinted in a dusty old tome back when I used to work in a second hand bookshop in Brighton...

lyrics

Love me little, love me long
Is the burden of my song
The love that burneth too fierce and strong
Burneth soon to waste oh
Burneth soon to waste oh.

Still, I would not have thee cold
Nor too bashful, nor too bold
But love that lasteth 'til it's old
And fadeth not in haste oh
And fadeth not in haste oh.

Come Winter's cold, come Summer's heat,
This love advanceth with quiet feet
And it will never accept defeat
'Til I cannot rebel oh
'Til I cannot rebel oh.

And such the love that I would gain,
Such a love, love, I tell thee plain
Thou must give or woo in vain,
So to thee farewell oh
So to thee farewell oh
So to thee farewell oh!
