Do adorn and perfume the sweet meadows in June.

’Tis all before the plough the fat oxen go slow,

But the lads and the lasses to the sheep-shearing go.

“Here stands our brown jug, and ’tis filled with good ale,

Our table, our table shall increase and not fail.

We’ll joke and we’ll sing,

And dance in a ring,

Where the pink and the lily,

And the daffydowndilly

Do adorn and perfume the sweet meadows in June.
