¶Lyrics / Text

Hold out my heart, with joy's delights accloyed, O hold thou out my heart, and show it, That all the world may know it, What sweet content thou lately hast enjoyed; She that, "Come dear", would say, Then laugh and run away, And if I stayed her, thus would she then cry, "Nay, fie for shame, fie", My true love true not regarding; hath giv'n my love now at length his full rewarding. So that, unless I may tell the joys that overfill me, My joys kept in, I know in time will kill me.
