[VIII. O my thoughts]

O my thoughts, O my thoughts, my thoughts, O my thoughts surcease, Thy delights my woes increase, thy delights my woes increase, My life melts with too much thinking, Thinke no more, thinke no more, no more, no more, but dye in me, Till thou shalt reuiued be, At her lips, at her lips, at my Nectar, Nectar drinking, my Nectar drinking. Till thou shalt reuiued be, reuiued be, reuiued be, At her lips, at her lips, at her lips, my Nectar drinking. my Nectar drinking.

[X. Loue is a daintie milde]

Loue is a daintie milde, Loue is a dainty milde, and sweet, Loue is a dainty milde and sweet, and sweet, A gentle power, a feeling fine and tender, So that those harmes and paynes vnmeet, those harmes and paines vnmeet, paynes vnmeet, which I doe passe, thou onely dost engender, Onely to him his torments loue deuiseth, that scornes his lawes, that scornes his lawes, his rites, and Loue despiseth, Onely to him his torments loue deuiseth, that scornes his lawes, that scornes his lawes, that scornes his lawes, his rites, and loue despiseth, despiseth.

[XI. Free from loues bonds]

Free from loues bonds I liued long, liued long, Free from loues bonds I liued long, I liued long, But now to loue, I change my song, With discords sweet, with discords, with discords sweet in euery straine, And of my ioy and pleasing paine, But out alas, alas my wounded hart, can neither rest, can neither rest, nor end my smart. But out alas my wounded hart, Can neither rest, can neither rest, nor end my smart.

[XII. How long shall I with mournefull Musicke]

How long shall I with mournefull Musicke, with with mournefull Musicke, stayne, the cheerefull notes, the cheerefull notes these pleasant vallyes yeelds, the cheerefull notes, these pleasant vallyes yeelds, Where all good haps, where all good haps a perfect state maintaine? Oh, oh cursed hap, oh cursed hap, and cursed be these fields, where first, where first, mine eyes, mine eyes, mine eyes were causers of my paine, where first, where first mine eyes, mine eyes, were causers of my paine, were causers of my paine.
