Under the | greenwood^|tree,|

Who loves | to lie | with me,|
,

And turn | his mer|ry note,|

Unto | the sweet bird's throat:|

Come hith|er, come^hit|her, come^hith|er:
(anapest)

Here shall | he see | no en|emy,

But wint|er and | rough^weather.|

More, more, I prithee more.

It will make | you mel|anchol|y Mon/sieur Jaques.
JAQUES

I thank | it: More,| I prith|ee more,|
, , , ,

I can / suck mel|anchol|y out | of a song,

As a weasel | sucks eggs: More,| I prith|ee more.

Come, more, anoth|er stan|zo: call | you 'em

AMIENS

What | you will | Monsieur | Jaques.|
JAQUES
Nay, I care not for their names, they owe me nothing. Will you sing?
AMIENS
More at your request, than to please myself.
JAQUES
Well then, if ever I thank any man, I'll thank you: but that they call
compliment is like the encounter of two dog-apes. And when a man thanks me
heartily, methinks I have given him a penny, and he renders me the beggarly
thanks. Come sing; and you that will not hold your tongues.
AMIENS
Well, I'll end the song. Sirs, cover the while, the duke will drink under
this tree; He hath been all this day to look you.
JAQUES

, , 2 ,
And I | have been | all this | day to a|void him:

He is too | disput|able for / my comp|any:

SONG.

All to|gether | here,
, ,
,
Who doth | ambit|ion shun,
, ,

And loves | to live | in the sun:
,
, ,
Seeking | the food | he eats,
, ,
,
And pleased | with what | he gets:
D D
,

Come hith|er, come^hit|her, come^hith|er:
(anapest)

Here shall | he see | no en|emy,

But wint|er and | rough^weather.|
JAQUES

I'll give | you a | verse | to this | note,
<- , ,
, 2 ,
, ,
That || I made^|yester|day in de|spite of | my
in|vention.
AMIENS
, ,
And I'll | sing it.
JAQUES
, __ oo
Thus it | goes.|
,
, , ,
, ,
If it | do come | to pass,| that an|y man |
turn^ass: (two tri)
,

Leaving | his wealth | and ease,
,
, ,
A stub|born will | to please,
D D
, , oo
Ducda|me, ducda|me, ducda|me:
(anapest)
, ,
T T . T
Here shall | he see,| gross fools as he,
,
, . , ,
And if | he will | come | to me.
AMIENS
What's that ducdame?
JAQUES
'Tis a Greek invocation, to call fools into a circle. I'll go sleep if I
can: if I cannot, I'll rail against all the first-born of Egypt.
AMIENS
, ,
,
And I'll | go seek | the duke,
, , ,
His banq|uet is | prepared. (tri with prev)
