"The Bait" by John Donne (1572–1631).

Bruneian pop, dance-pop, pop with Malay folk influences

[Intro]
(instrumental: gentle suling flute melody, soft gendang pulse, warm synth pad)
Ooooh... yeah...

[Verse 1]
Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

[Pre-Chorus]
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

[Chorus]
(catchy, upbeat, harmonies enter)
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

[Verse 2]
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

[Pre-Chorus]
The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my love.

[Chorus]
(build with traditional instrumentation)
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

[Bridge]
(dub-inspired breakdown: gulingtangan gongs, suling solo, sparse gendang)
If these delights... thy mind may move...
Come live with me... and be my love...
(echo: love... love...)
By shallow rivers... birds sing...

[Chorus]
(full arrangement returns, kulintangan accents, vocal harmonies)
And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

[Outro]
Come live with me... and be my love...
(fade with suling flute, gentle rebana pulse, and warm synth wash)
Be my love...
