¶Lyrics / Text

Phillis, I fain would die now, O, to die what should move thee? For that you do not love me. I love thee, but plain to make it, Ask what thou wilt, and take it. O sweet, then this I crave thee, Since you to love wilt have me, Give me in my tormenting One kiss for my contenting. This unawares doth daunt me, Else what thou wilt I grant thee. Ah Phillis, well I see then, My death thy joy will be then. O no, no, I request thee, To tarry but some fitter time and leisure. Alas, death will arrest me, You know, before I shall possess this treasure. No no, dear, do not languish, Temper this sadness For time and love with gladness, Once ere long will provide for this our anguish.
