Ophelia's Song

Verse 1 or A1
How should I your true love know
From another one?
By his cockle hat and staff
And his sandal shoon.

Verse 2 or A2
He is dead and gone, lady.
He is dead and gone;
At his head a grass-green turf,
At his heels a stone.

Chorus
White his shroud as the mountain snow,
Larded with sweet flowers;
Which bewept to the grave did not go
With true love showers.
With true love showers. {my addition}
Repeat Verse 1,2 and Chorus

Coda or A3 {my additions}
How should I your true love know,
From another one?
How should I your true love know
From another one? (4.5.23-40)
