Secreit Nicht
Mediaeval Baebes

15th century English

In secreit place, this hindir nicht,
I hard ane beirne say till ane bricht,
'My huny, my hart, my heill,
I have bene lang your luifar leill,
This hindir nicht,
Ye brek my hart, my bony ane.'
In the night just gone, in a secret place,
I overheard a brave man tell someone fair,
'My honey-sweet, my heart, my health,
Long I have been your loyal lover,
This last night,
You break my heart, my bonny one.'
