[Thoughts doe not vexe me while I Sleepe]
Thoughts doe not vexe me while I Sleepe;
Griefe do not doe not move mee,
Smile not false hope while I weepe
Shee cannot love mee,
Griefe do not doe not move mee,
Smile not false hope while I weepe
Shee cannot love mee,
Had I been as cold and Nice,
and as often turning,
then as shee had I been Ice,
and Shee as I now burning.
and as often turning,
then as shee had I been Ice,
and Shee as I now burning.

Teares flow no more from my swolne eyes,
Sighes doe not so oppresse mee,
Stop not your Eares at my Cryes,
O but release mee.
Sighes doe not so oppresse mee,
Stop not your Eares at my Cryes,
O but release mee.
Were you but as sad as I,
And as full of mourning,
Very griefe would make you dye,
At least, leave off your scorning.
And as full of mourning,
Very griefe would make you dye,
At least, leave off your scorning.
