English text

Lay a garland on my hearse,

Of the dismal yew,

Maidens, willow branches bear,

Say I died true.

My love was false, but I was firm

From my hour of birth;

Upon my buried body lie

Lightly, gentle earth.

Lyrics: Francis Beaumont (1584-1616) and by John Fletcher (1579-1625),

from The Maid's Tragedy, published 1610.
