| With some sweete harmony | B |
| This wearie eye is not to kepe | A |
| Thy wary company | B |
| - | |
| Sweet Love begon a while | C |
| Thou seest my heaviness | D |
| Beautie is borne but to beguyle | C |
| My harte of happines | D |
| - | |
| See how my little flocke | E |
| That lovde to feede on highe | F |
| Doe headlonge tumble downe the rocke | E |
| And in the valley dye | G |
| - | |
| The bushes and the trees | D |
| That were so freshe and greene | H |
| Doe all their deintie colors leese | D |
| And not a leafe is seene | H |
| - | |
| The blacke birde and the thrushe | I |
| That made the woodes to ringe | J |
| With all the rest are now at hushe | I |
| And not a note they singe | K |

| Swete Philomele the birde | L |
| That hath the heavenly throte | L |
| Doth nowe alas not once afforde | L |
| Recordings of a note | L |
| - | |
| Th flowers have had a frost | L |
| The herbs have loste their savoure | M |
| And Phillida the faire hath lost | L |
| 'For me her wonted' favour | M |
| - | |
| Thus all these careful sights | D |
| So kill me in conceit | L |
| That now to hope upon delights | D |
| It is but meere deceite | L |
| - | |
| And therefore my sweete Muse | D |
| That knowest what helpe is best | L |
| Doe nowe thy heavenlie conninge use | D |
| To sett my harte at rest | L |
| - | |
| And in a dreame bewraie | M |
| What fate shal be my frende | L |
| Whether my life shall still decaye | G |
| Or when my sorrowes ende | L |
