Reynardine |
| 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 old Reynardine |
| She said, «Kind sir, be civil |
| My company forsake |
| For in my own opinion |
| I fear you are some rake» |
| «Oh no,» he said, «no rake am I |
| Brought up in Venus' train |
| But I’m seeking for concealment |
| All along the lonesome plain» |
| «Your beauty so enticed me |
| I could not pass it by |
| So it’s with my gun I’ll guard you |
| All on the mountains high» |
| «And if by chance you should look for me |
| Perhaps you’ll not me find |
| For I’ll be in my castle |
| Inquire for Reynardine» |
| Sun and dark, she followed him |
| His teeth did brightly shine |
| And he led her up a-the mountains |
| Did that sly old Reynardine |
