Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore; To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more, Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so, But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Text by William Shakespeare (1564-1616),
from Much Ado About Nothing Act II scene iii. |
