Pagan Lullaby
My little sweet darling
my comfort and joy
Sing lullaby looley
in beauty surpassing
the princes of Troy
Sing lullaby looley
now suck, child
and sleep, child
thy mother's sweet boy
Sing lullaby looley
the gods bless and keep thee
from cruel annoy
Sing looley looley looley
sweet baby looley looley
sweet baby lullaby looley
Words and tune: English, 16th century
Attributed to William Byrd
