What then is loue but mourning? What desire, but a selfe-burning? Till shee that hates doth loue returne, Thus will I mourne, thus will I sing, Come away, come away, my darling.
Beautie is but a blooming, Youth in his glorie entombing ; Time hath a while, which none can stay : Then come away, while thus I sing, Come away, come away, my darling.
Sommer in winter fadeth ; Gloomie night heaun'ly light shadeth : Like to the morne are Venus flowers ; Such are her howers : then will I sing, Come away, come away, my darling.
