O fly not, O take some pity | O fly not, O take some pity. | ||
I faint alas, I faint; O stay, stay her | I faint alas, I faint; O stay, O stay her. | ||
See how she flies; | See how she flies; | ||
O stay and hear my prayer | O stay and hear my prayer. | ||
With one sweet look you may of torment ease me; | |||
you may of torment ease me | I am no tiger fierce that seeks to spill thee. | ||
I am no | No, no, I see, thou dost but this to kill me; | ||
no I see, thou dost but this to kill me | Lo then I die, and all to please thee. | ||
Lo then I die, and all to please thee | </poem> | ||

English text < poem > O fly not, O take some pity. I faint alas, I faint; O stay, O stay her. See how she flies; O stay and hear my prayer. With one sweet look you may of torment ease me; I am no tiger fierce that seeks to spill thee. No, no, I see, thou dost but this to kill me; Lo then I die, and all to please thee. </poem>
