Serve ______________ love me and mend
This is not the end
Live unbruised we are ______________
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Sigh no more, no more
One ______________ in sea, one on shore
My heart was never pure
you know me
you know me

And ______________ is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing
Oh man is a giddy thing

Love that will not ______________you,
dismay or enslave you,
It will set you ______________
Be more like the man
you were made to be.
There is ______________ a design,
An alignment to cry,
At my heart you see,
The beauty of love
as it was made to be

Mumford & Sons

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

William Shakespeare
