Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Dear why should you command me to my rest | A |
| When now the night doth summon all to sleep | B |
| Methinks this time becometh lovers best | A |
| Night was ordain'd together friends to keep | B |
| How happy are all other living things | C |
| Which through the day disjoin by sev'ral flight | D |
| The quiet ev'ning yet together brings | C |
| And each returns unto his love at night | D |

| Well could I wish it would be ever day | G |
| If when night comes you bid me go away | G |
