SCARBOROUGH FAIR/CANTICLE, PROVIDED WITH THE ELFIN KNIGHT, WHITTINGHAM FAIR AND ROSEMARY LANE, AND WITH AN APPENDIX ON RIDDLES WISELY EXPOUNDED A1. SCARBOROUGH FAIR Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there, She once was a true love of mine. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Without no seams nor needlework, Then she'll be a true love of mine. Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Between the salt water and the sea strand, Then she'll be a true love of mine. Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme And to gather it all in a bunch of heather, Then she'll be a true love of mine. Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there, She once was a true love of mine. 2. CANTICLE On the side of a hill in the deep forest green Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains Sleeps unaware of the clarion call On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves Washed is the ground with so many tears A soldier cleans and polishes a gun War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions Generals order their soldiers to kill And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.

LA FIERA DI SCARBOROUGH Se ritorni alla fiera anche tu Rosmarino verbena e cannella Ricordami a lei che vive laggiù E’ stata il mio amore la mia grande stella Dille di farmi una blusa cambrì Rosmarino verbena e cannella Di non cucirla dille così Sarà il mio amore la mia grande stella Che la lavi nel pozzo alla loggia Rosmarino verbena e cannella Che non riceve più gocce di pioggia Sarà il mio amore la mia grande stella Dille di appenderla al ramo là in fondo Rosmarino verbena e cannella Che mai fiorisce da che esiste il mondo Sarà il mio amore la mia grande stella Un acro di terra mi potrà bastare Rosmarino verbena e cannella Fra la sabbia e la schiuma del mare Sarà il mio amore la mia grande stella
