| Lyc In this regard that thou do'st play | E |
| Upon another plain | C |
| And for a rural roundelay | E |
| Strik'st now a courtly strain | C |

| Where shepherds should not keep | G |

| With all the rest while thou alone | C |
| Shalt lead like young Apollo | E |

| And till thou com'st thy Lycidas | H |
| In every genial cup | K |
| Shall write in spice Endymion 'twas | H |
| That kept his piping up | K |
| - | |
| And my most lucky swain when I shall live to see | H |
| Endymion's moon to fill up full remember me | H |
| Meantime let Lycidas have leave to pipe to thee | H |
