Cease mine eyes,
cease your lamenting,
O cease, alas
this your lamenting,
in vaine you hope,
of hir hard harts relenting,
o cease your flowing:
drop not so fast,
drop not where no grace is growing.
See shee laughes, shee smiles,
shee playes with gladnesse,
See shee laughes, shee smiles,
shee playes and smyles with joy and gladnesse,
see shee laughes, she smyles,
she playes, she laughes,
she smyles, she playes,
see shee laughes, and smyles,
and playes with joy and gladnesse:
to see your griefe and sadnesse,
O Love thou are abused,
Never was true love so scornefully thus,
O thus used.
O Love, thou art abused,
never was true love so scornefully thus,
O thus used.
