Goe nightly cares, the enemy to rest, | |||
Forbeare a while to vexe my grieved sprite, | |||
So long your weight hath lyne upon my breast, | |||
that loe I live of life bereaved quite, | |||
O give me time to draw my weary breath, | |||
Or let me dye, as I desire the death. | |||
Welcome sweete death, oh life, no life, a hell, | |||
Then thus, and thus I bid the world farewell. | |||
False world farewell, the enemy to rest, | |||
now doe thy worst, I doe not weigh thy spight: | |||
Free from thy cares I live for ever blest, | |||
Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight. | |||
Delight, whom woes nor sorrowes shall amate, | |||
nor feares or teares disturbe her happy state. | |||
And thus I leave thy hopes, thy joyes untrue, | |||
and thus, and thus vaine world againe adue. | |||

Goe nightly cares, the enemy to rest, Forbeare a while to vexe my grieved sprite, So long your weight hath lyne upon my breast, that loe I live of life bereaved quite, O give me time to draw my weary breath, Or let me dye, as I desire the death. Welcome sweete death, oh life, no life, a hell, Then thus, and thus I bid the world farewell.
False world farewell, the enemy to rest, now doe thy worst, I doe not weigh thy spight: Free from thy cares I live for ever blest, Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight. Delight, whom woes nor sorrowes shall amate, nor feares or teares disturbe her happy state. And thus I leave thy hopes, thy joyes untrue, and thus, and thus vaine world againe adue.
