| That sacred peace may in assurance rayne | B |
| And tymely sleep when it is tyme to sleepe | A |
| May poure his limbs forth on your pleasant playne | B |
| The whiles an hundred little winged loues | C |
| Like diuers fethered doues | C |
| Shall fly and flutter round about your bed | D |
| And in the secret darke that none reproues | C |
| Their prety stealthes shal worke snares shal spread | D |
| To filch away sweet snatches of delight | E |
| Conceald through couert night | E |
| Ye sonnes of Venus play your sports at will | F |
| For greedy pleasure carelesse of your toyes | C |
| Thinks more vpon her paradise of ioyes | C |
| Then what ye do albe it good or ill | F |
| All night therefore attend your merry play | G |
| For it will soone be day | G |
| Now none doth hinder you that say or sing | H |
| Ne will the woods now answer nor your Eccho ring | H |
