Lyrics
Susanna fair some time assaulted was
By two old men, desiring their delight
Which lewd intent they thought to bring to pass
If not by tender love, by force and might
To whom she said: If I your suit deny
You will me falsely accuse, and make me die
And if I grant to that which you request
My chastity shall then deflowered be
Which is so dear to me, that I detest
My life, if it berefted be from me
And rather would I die of mine accord
Ten thousand times, than once offend our Lord
