sair to hear thee weep.
Baloo, my boy, lie still and sleep,
It grieves me sair to hear thee weep :
If thou 'It be silent, I '11 be glad,
Thy mourning makes my heart full sad.
Baloo, my boy, thy mother's joy,
Thy father bred me great annoy.
Baloo, my dear, lie still and sleep,
It grieves me sair to hear thee weep.
Baloo, my darling, sleep a while,
And when thou wakest, sweetly smile ;
But smile not as thy father did,
To cozen maids, may God forbid ;
For in thine eye his look I see,
The tempting look that ruined me.
When he began to court my love,
And with his sugared words to move,
His tempting face and flattefang cheer,
In time to me did not appear ;
