¶Lyrics / Text

Joy so delights my heart and so relieves me, When I behold that fair face of my beloved, That any hard mischance or pang that grieves me Is quite exiled and presently removed, And if I might to perfite up my pleasure, Without controlment bestow mine eyes where I repose my treasure, For a crown and a kingdom sure possessed, I would not change my state so sweet and blessed.
