One evening as I rambled,

Among the leaves so green,

I overheard a young woman,

Converse with Reynardine.

Her hair was black, her eyes were blue,

Her lips as red as wine,

And he smiled to gaze upon her,

Did that sly, bold Reynardine.

My company forsake,

For in my own opinion,

I fear you are some rake."

Brought up in Venus' train,

But I'm seeking for concealment,

All along the lonesome plain."

Perhaps you'll not me find.

For I'll be in my castle,
