Love

Who shall have my fair lady?

by Anonymous (Middle English) c. 13th–16th century

From Early English Lyrics (1907)

Love

Who shall have my fair lady?
Who shall have my fair lady?
Who but I, who but I, who but I?
Under the leavés green!

The fairest man
That best love can,
Dandirly, dandirly, dandirly dan,

Under the leavés green!
