English text

Hark, all ye lovely saints above
Diana hath agreed with Love,
hath agreed with Love,
His fiery weapon to remove, to remove.
Fa la la
Do you not see
How they agree?
Then cease fair ladies;
why weep ye, why weep ye?
Fa la la

See, see, your mistress bids you cease,
And welcome Love, with love's increase,
Love, with love's increase,
Diana hath procured, procured your peace.
Fa la la
Cupid hath sworn
His bow forlorn
To break and burn,
ere ladies mourn, ladies mourn.
Fa la la
