¶Lyrics / Text

:Come, sable night, put on thy mourning stole, :and help Amyntas sadly to condole. :Behold, the sun hath shut his golden eye, :the day is spent, and shades fair lights supply. :All things in sweet repose :their labours close; :Only Amyntas wastes his hours in wailing, :whilst all his hopes do faint, and life is failing.
