Corn-field, rye, flower

As You Like It, [5.3..15-32]. 2nd page. “It was a lover and his lass,/ With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,/ That o’er the green corn-field 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 like/ In spring time, etc/ 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 Spring time, etc.”
