Hero to the dead Leander
J. Wilbye
Weep, weep, mine eyes, my heart can take no rest;
Weep, weep, my heart, mine eyes shall ne'er be blest.
Weep eyes, weep heart. and both this accent cry:
A thousand deaths I die.
Aye me! Ah, ah cruel fortune! Aye me!
Now Leander, to die I fear not;
Death do thy worst, I care not.
I hope when I am dead
In Elisium plain we'll meet,
And there with joy
We'll love again.
