Another Part of the Forest.
 Enter TOUCHSTONE and AUDREY.

Touchstone	Tomorrow is the joyful day, Audrey. Tomorrow will we be 
	married.

Audrey	I do desire it with all my heart; and I hope it is no 
	dishonest desire to desire to be a woman of the world. Here 
	come two of the banished duke's pages.

                             Enter two PAGES.

1st Page	Well met, honest gentleman.

Touchstone	By my troth, well met. Come, sit, sit, and a song.

2nd Page	We are for you. Sit i'th'middle.

1st Page	Shall we clap into't roundly, without hawking or spitting 
	or saying we are hoarse, which are the only prologues to a 
	bad voice?

2nd Page	I'faith, i'faith; and both in a tune, like two gypsies on a 
	horse.

1st &
2nd Page	[Sing.]	It was a lover and his lass,
				With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
			That o'er the green cornfield did pass,
				In the springtime, the only pretty ring-time,
			When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
			Sweet lovers love the spring.

			Between the acres of the rye,
				With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
			These pretty country folks would lie,
				In the springtime, the only pretty ring-time,
			When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
			Sweet lovers love the spring.

			This carol they began that hour,
				With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
			How that a life was but a flower,
				In the springtime, the only pretty ring-time,
			When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
			Sweet lovers love the spring.

			And therefore take the present time,
				With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
			For love is crownd with the prime,
				In the springtime, the only pretty ring-time,
			When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
			Sweet lovers love the spring.

Touchstone	Truly, young gentlemen, though there was no great matter in 
	the ditty, yet the note was very untuneable.

1st Page	You are deceived, sir; we kept time, we lost not our time.

Touchstone	By my troth, yes; I count it but time lost to hear such a 
	foolish song. God-buy-you, and God mend your voices! Come, 
	Audrey.
