¶Liedtext

Go to bed, sweet muse, take thy rest; Let not thy soul be so oppressed: Though she deny thee, She doth but try thee, Whether thy mind will ever prove unkind, O Love is but a bitter sweet jest. Muse not upon her smiling looks, Think that they are but baited hooks: Love is a fancy, Love is a frenzy, Let not a toy then breed thee such annoy; But leave to look upon such fond books. Learn to forget such idle toys, Fitter for youths and youthful boys: Let not one sweet smile, Thy true love beguile, Let not a frown forever cast thee down; Then sleep, and go to bed in these joys.
