Oh Mistress Mine


O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and here your true love's coming
That can sing both high and low
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers' meeting
Ev'ry wise man's son doth know

What is love? 'tis not hereafter
Present mirth hath present laughter,
What's to come is still unsure
In delay there lies no plenty
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty
Youth's a stuff will not endure

Note: Sung in Shakespeare's Twelth Night, Act II, Scene 3
Two tunes given here OMSTRSS1 was arranged by William
Byrd for Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book, 1611 For this
tune, first line of each verse repeats OMSTRSS2 I heard
from Alan Shulman in 1950 RG
