O stay faire cruell, doe not still torment mee
O stay faire cruell, doe not still torment mee, with frownes,
disgraces, and disdainfull deeds, when euery eye with

stil, your glori's greater for to spare then spill. Oh bee not, bee not so, not so hard

X. My hope a counsell with my loue
My hope a counsell with my loue, hath long desired to bee
My hope a counsell with my loue, hath long desired to bee, and maruells much so deere a friend, is not retaynd

with this, she sayes, I did release the right, of my enioyed liberties, vnto your beaut'ous

XII. Mopsie leaue of to loue
Mopsie leaue of to loue, thy
hopes are vaine
Mopsie leaue of to loue, thy
hopes are vaine, thy hopes are vaine, are vaine,
I haue an nother that doth much excell thee, whose meanest graces thy perfections staine: Yet loue himselfe, to
loue cannot compell mee, cannot compell mee, compell mee, Yet she is modest,
vertu's, wise, & chast, of all which parts, no little little part thou hast. Yet she is modest, vertu's,

XIII. Sweet Loue I erre
Sweet Loue I erre, and doe my error know
Sweet Loue I erre, and doe my error know,
As hee that burnes, that
burnes, and nourisheth the fire, My griefe doth waxe, and reason lesse
doth grow, Yet want I power, to bridle my desire.
Content is dead, my ioyes are all distressed, Aye, thus it is, To be with loue oppressed. Content

XIIII. In vaine my tongue thou begst to ease my care
In vaine my tongue thou begst to ease my care, my care,
In vaine mine eies you gase, or looke for aide, for aide, in vaine mine eares you listen
after ayre, In vaine my thoughts, you think what hath beene said, In vaine my
faith serues where 'tis not regarded, In vaine my hope when truth is not rewarded.

In vaine my hope, when truth is not rewarded.
XV. When on my deare I doe demaund the due
When on my deare I doe demaund the due
When on my deare I doe demaund the due, that to affection,
and firme faith belongeth, A friend to mee she saith shee will bee true, a friend to
mee, shee saith shee will bee true, a friend to mee bee true: and with this answere still
my ioyes prolongeth, prolongeth, but deare tell mee, But
deere tell mee what friendship is in this, Thus for to wrong mee and delay
my blisse. But deere tell mee, what friendship is in this, Thus for to wrong mee, and delay my blisse.
XVI. Ioye of my life
Ioye of my life that hath my loue in hould
Ioye of my life that hath my loue in hould, Ioy
of my life, that hath my loue in hould,
Vouchsafe to read these lines my hart doth send, and hauing read, some pittie, some
pittie deere vnfould, To these sad abstracts, drawing
to their end: drawing to their end: Let those sweet eies that stellafie,
the light, Show equall power and dayefie my night. Let those sweet eies that
stellafie the light, Show equall power, and dayefie my night.
Heere endeth the songs of 4. parts.
