Rest, sweet nymphs, let golden sleep charm thy star brighter eyes Whilst my lute the watch doth keep in pleasing sympathies.
Lulla lullabye, lulla lullabye, Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly, let nothing afright ye, in calm contentments lie.
Dream, fair virgins, of delight and blest Elysian groves while the wandering shades of night resemble your true loves. Lulla lullabye, lulla lullabye, Your kisses, your blisses send them by your wishes although they be not nigh.
Thus, dear damsels, I do give goodnight, and so am gone; With your hearts' desires long live, Still joy, and never mourn. Lulla lullabye, lulla lullabye, Hath pleased you and eased you, and sweet slumber seized you -- And now to bed I hie.
Lulla lullabye, lulla lullabye, Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly, let nothing afright ye, in calm contentments lie.
