L ULLA by baby, lulla by baby,
Thy nurse will tend thee, as duly as may be.

Be still my sweet sweeting, no longer do cry,
Sing lulla by baby, lulla by baby:
Let dolors be fleeting, I fancy thee aye,
To rock and to lull thee, I will not delay me.
Lulla by baby, etc.

What creature now living would hasten thy woe,
Sing lulla by, lulla by, lulla by baby:
See for thy relieving, the time I bestow,
To dance, and to prance thee, as prett'ly as may be.
Lulla by baby, etc.
The Gods be thy shield, and comfort in need,
Sing lulla by, lulla by, lulla by baby:
They give thee good fortune and well for to speed,
And this to desire, I will not delay me.
Lulla by baby, etc.
