[VVhat vayleth life, where sorrowe soakes the harte?]
Then with the Musicke in the same place was song this shorte Dittie following, in a very sweete voice.
VVhat vayleth life, where sorrowe soakes the harte?
Who feareth Death that is in deepe distresse?
Release of life doth best abate the smarte
Of him, whose woes are quite without redresse.
Lend me your teares, resigne your sighes to me,
Helpe all to waile the dolor whych you see.

Lend me your teares, resigne your sighes to me,
Helpe all to waile the dolor whych you see.
What haue wee done, shee will no longer stay?
What may we do to holde hir with vs still?
Shee is oure Queene, wee subiectes muste obey.
Graunt, though with griefe to hir departing will.
Conclude wee then, and sing with sobbing breath,
God length thy life, (oh Queene Elizabeth.)
