[My louely wanton Iewell]

My louely wanton Iewell,
To mee at once both kind alas and cruell. Fa la la.
My hopelesse wordes tormentes mee,
And with my lippes againe straight way contents mee. Fa la la.

If this you doe to kill mee,
Say cruell Nimphe, why kisse not you then still mee. Fa la la.
So shall you ease my crying,
And I could neuer wish a sweeter dying. Fa la la.
