All you Loves and Cupids cry br and all you men of feeling br my girl’s sparrow is dead, br my girl’s beloved sparrow. br She loved him more than herself. br He was sweeter than honey, and he br knew her, as she knows her mother. br He never flew out of her lap, br but, hopping about here and there, br just chirped to his lady, alone. br Now he is flying the dark br no one ever returns from. br Evil to you, evil Shades br of Orcus, destroyers of beauty. br You have stolen the beautiful sparrow from me. br Oh sad day! Oh poor little sparrow! br Because of you my sweet girl’s eyes br are red with weeping, and swollen.
