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.
