One evening as I rambled among the leaves so green
I overheard a young woman enquire for Reynardine
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue, her lips as sweet as wine
And he smiled to gaze upon her, did that sly bold Reynardine
My innocence will charm you from your castle wild
Seducer or seduced, within my gaze beguiled
She said kind Sir be civil, my company forsake
For 'tis in my own opinion, I fear you are a rake
And if my parents they did know, my life they would destroy
For keeping of your company all on the mountains high
But I'll follow you into your lair and there beside you lie
Into the guarded labyrinth beneath the mountains high
Oh no said he No rake am I, brought up in Venus' train
I'm seeking for concealment all on the lonesome plain
Take heed my precious creature, don't let your family know
For if they do they'll ruin me and prove my overthrow
The only sound to pass my lips be naught but ragged sighs
The only words a whisper soft reflected in your eyes
I'll kiss you 'neath the silken sky, where fox and hare run free
But I may never be your love, so close your heart to me
Your beauty so enticed me, I could not pass it by
So it's with my teeth 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, enquire for Reynardine
Sun and moon she followed him, her eyes did brightly shine
And she led him o'er the mountains
