Original text and translations

English text

Lie downe, poore heart and die a while for griefe
Thinke not that this world will ever do thee good;
Fortune forewarnes ye looke to thy reliefe,
And sorrow sucks upon thy living bloud,
Then this is all can helpe thee of this hell,
Lie downe and die and then thou shalt doe well.
