Weep, weep, mine eyes, my heart can take no rest.
Weep, weep, mine eyes, my heart can take no rest.
Weep, weep, my heart, mine eyes shall ne'er be blest.
Weep, weep, my heart, mine eyes shall ne'er be blest.

I hope when I am dead in Elysian plain  
I hope when I am dead in Elysian plain  
To meet, and there with joy we'll love again.
To meet, and there with joy we'll love again.

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, Flaminia.
Ay me, ah cruel Fortune! ay me.
Now, Leander, to die I fear not.
Death, do thy worst! I care not!
I hope when I am dead in Elysian plain
To meet, and there with joy we'll love again.
