Cease mine eyes,  
Cease mine eyes, cease your lamenting,  
cease your lamenting,  
O cease, alas, this your lamenting.
O cease, alas  
In vaine you hope of her hard heart's relenting.
this your lamenting,
O cease your flowing:  
in vaine you hope,
drop not so fast, O where no grace is growing.
of hir hard harts relenting,
See she laughs, she smiles, she plays with joy and gladness;
o cease your flowing:  
To see your grief and sadness.
drop not so fast,  
drop not where no grace is growing.
See shee laughes, shee smiles,
shee playes with gladnesse,
See shee laughes, shee smiles,
shee playes and smyles with joy and gladnesse,
see shee laughes, she smyles,  
she playes, she laughes,
she smyles, she playes,
see shee laughes, and smyles,
and playes with joy and gladnesse:
to see your griefe and sadnesse,
O Love thou are abused,
Never was true love so scornefully thus,
O thus used.
O Love, thou art abused,
O Love, thou art abused,
never was true love so scornefully thus,
Never was true love so scornfully thus used.
O thus used.

Cease mine eyes, cease your lamenting,
O cease, alas, this your lamenting.
In vaine you hope of her hard heart's relenting.
O cease your flowing:
drop not so fast, O where no grace is growing.
See she laughs, she smiles, she plays with joy and gladness;
To see your grief and sadness.
O Love, thou art abused,
Never was true love so scornfully thus used.
