Rest sweet nimphs

Rest sweet Nimphs let goulden sleepe,

Charme your star brighter eies,

Whiles my Lute the watch doth keep

With pleasing simpathies,

Lulla lullaby, Lulla lullaby,

Sleepe sweetly, sleepe sweetly,

let nothing affright ye,

In calme contentments lie.

Dreame faire virgins of delight

And blest Elizian groves:

Whiles the wandring shades of night

Resemble your true loves:

Lulla lullaby, Lulla lullaby,

Your kisses, your blisses

send them by your wishes,

Although they be not nigh.

Thus deare damzelle I do give

Good night and so am gone:

With your hartes desires long live,

Still joy, and never mone.

Lulla lullaby, Lulla lullaby,

Hath pleased you and easd you,

& sweet slumber sezd you,

And now to bed I hie.
