Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;

Without any seam or needlework?

And you shall be a true lover of mine.

Can you wash it in yonder well,

Parsley, &c.

Where never sprung water, nor rain ever fell?

And you, &c.

Can you dry it on yonder thorn,

Parsley, &c.

Which never bore blossom since Adam was born?
