Songs to 5. voyces
[XI. Rest with your selues]
Rest with your selues you vaine and idle brainesRest with your selues you vaine and idle braines which youth and age in lewdest lust bestow, which youth and age in lewdest lust bestow and find out frauds and vse ten thousand traines to win the soyle where nought but sin doth grow and liue with me you chast and honest mindes which do, your liues in lawfull loue employ employ, & know no sleights, but friends for vertue finds' and loath the lust, which doth the soule destroy.
[XII. For lust is fraile]
For lust is fraile, where loue is euer soundFor lust is fraile, where loue is euer sound, lust outward sweet, but inward bitter gall, a shop of shewes where no good ware is found, not like to loue, where honest faith is all, so that is lust, where fancy ebs and flowes & hates and loues as beauty dyes and grows, and this is loue, where friendship firmly stands on vertues rock, & not on sinful sands, & not on sinful sands.
[XIII. Shall I abide this ieasting]
Shall I abide this ieastingShall I abide this ieasting, I weepe, and shees a feasting, shall I abide this ieasting, I weepe and shees a feasting, O cruell cruell fancy, that so doth blinde thee to loue one doth not mind thee; that so doth blind thee to loue one to loue one doth not mind thee, that so doth blind thee to loue one doth not mind thee, that so doth blind thee so blind thee, to loue to loue one doth not mind thee.
[XIIII. Can I abide this praunsing]
Can I can I abide this praunsingCan I can I abide this praunsing, this praunsing I weepe I weepe and shees a daunsing, a daunsing a daunsing, I weepe & shees a daunsing, a daunsing a daunsing, O cruell cruell cruel fancy so to betray me thou goest about to slay me, to slay me, thou goest about about about about to slay thou goest about about about to slay me, O cruel, cruel cruel fancie so to betray me thou goest about to slay me thou goest about about about to slay me, thou goest aboute to slay me.
[XV. The sturdie rock for al his strength by raging seas]
The sturdie rock for al his strength by raging seas, is rent in twainThe sturdie rock for al his strength by raging seas, is rent in twain, by raging seas is rent in twain the marble stone, the marble stone is pearst at length, with little drops of drisling rain the oxe doth yeelde vnto the yoake doth yeeld vnto the yoake, the steele obeieth the hammer stroake the oxe doth yeeld the oxe doth yeeld vnto the yoak, vnto the yoke, the steele obeyeth the hāmer stroak,the steele obeyeth the hāmer stroke
[XVI. The stately stagge that seemes so stoute]
The stately stagge that seemes so stouteThe stately stagge that seemes so stoute, by yelping yelping yelping, yelping hounds by yelping houndes at bay is set, the swiftest birde that flies about, that flies about at length is caught, in fowlers net, the greatest fish in deepest brook, is soon, is soone deceiude deceiude, with subtle hooke, with subtle hooke, deceiude with subtle hooke, is soone, is soone deceiued, is soone deceiud by subtle hook the greatest fish in deepest brook is soon is soon deceiud, is soon deceiud, with subtle hook
[XVII. What if a day or a month or a year]
What if a day or a month or a yearWhat if a day or a month or a year crown thy delights with a thousand sweet contentings, can not a chance of a night or an howre crosse thy desires with as many sad tormentings, fortune, honor, beauty youth, are but blossoms are but blossoms dying wanton pleasure, doating loue are but shadowes, are are flying, all our ioyes are but toyes, are but toyes idle thoughts deceiuing, none haue power of an howre of an howre in their liues bereuing.
[XVIII. Earthes but a point to the world]
Earthes but a point to the worldEarthes but a point to the world, and a man is but a point to the worlds compared centure, shall then a point of a point be so vaine, as to triumph in a seely points aduenture, all is hassard that we haue, there is nothing nothing biding, dayes of pleasure are like streames through faire medowes gliding, faire meadowes gliding, through faire meadowes gliding gliding, weale and woe time doth goe, time is neuer turning, secret fates guide our states both in mirth in mirth and mourning:
[XIX. There is a garden in her face]
There is a garden in her faceThere is a garden in her face, where roses and white lilies grow A heauenly paradise is that place, a heauenly heauenly paradise is that place wherein al pleasant fruits do flow, there cheries grow, that none may buy till cherie ripe cherie ripe till cherie ripe til cherie ripe, cherie ripe cherie ripe thēselus do crie, there cheries grow that none may buy til cherie ripe chery ripe, till cherie ripe till cherie ripe cherie ripe, thēselus do cry
[XX. Those cheries fairly do inclose]
Those cheries fairly do inclose of orient pearls a double rowThose cheries fairly do inclose of orient pearls a double row which when her louely louely laughter showes they looke like rose buds fild with snow yet thē no Peere nor Prince may buy, nor Prince may buy, till chery ripe ripe chery ripe, chery ripe themselues do crie, yet thē no peere nor prince may buy, nor prince may buy, till chery ripe, ripe cherry ripe, cherie ripe, themselues do crie.

[XXIIII. The sacred quire of angels]
The sacred quire of angels sings the prayses of the liuing LordThe sacred quire of angels sings the prayses of the liuing Lord, that is the god and king of kings protecting those that keep his worde, O well of grace, O spring of life to those that thirst thy truth to taste, but vnto them that liue in strife a terror that wil euer last.
