[Me me and none but me]
Me me and none but me,
Dart home O gentle death
And quicklie,
For I draw too long this idle breath:
O howe I long till I
May fly to heauen aboue,
Vnto my faithfull
And beloued turtle doue.
Dart home O gentle death
And quicklie,
For I draw too long this idle breath:
O howe I long till I
May fly to heauen aboue,
Vnto my faithfull
And beloued turtle doue.
Like to the siluer Swanne,
before my death I sing:
And yet aliue
my fatall knell I helpe to ring.
Still I desire from earth
and earthly ioyes to flie,
He neuer happie liu'd,
that cannot loue to die.
