A Robyn, Gentil Robyn
By William Cornysh (died c. 1523)
Chorus:
A Robyn, gentil Robyn, tel me how thy leman doth and thow shalt know of myne.
(Voice one and two sing the above as a round. Then the third voice joins in with...)
A Robyn, gentil Robyn, tel me how thy leman doth and thow shalt know of myne.
My lady is unkinde I wis, alac why is she so,
she lov'th another better than me and yet she will say no.
A Robyn, gentil Robyn, tel me how thy leman doth and thow shalt know of myne.
I can not thynk such doubylnes, for I fynd women trew,
in faith y lady lov'th me well she will change for no new.
A Robyn, gentil Robyn, tel me how thy leman doth and thow shalt know of myne.
