[00:07.66]How sweet I roam'd from field to field,
[00:13.96]And tasted all the summer's pride,
[00:20.07]'Till I the prince of love beheld,

[00:39.55]And blushing roses for my brow;
[00:45.55]He led me through his gardens fair,
[00:51.53]Where all his golden pleasures grow.
[00:59.69]With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
[01:05.77]And Phoebus fir'd my vocal rage;

[01:26.10]He loves to sit and hear me sing,
[01:32.09]Then, laughing, sports and plays with me,
[01:38.57]Then stretches out my golden wing,
[01:44.35]And mocks my loss of liberty
[01:52.33]Then stretches out my golden wing,
[01:58.31]And mocks my loss of liberty
