Underneath my window plaineth | B |
'It is one who from thy sight | A |
Being ah exiled disdaineth | B |
Every other vulgar light ' | C |
- | |
Why alas and are you he | D |
Be not yet those fancies changed | E |
'Dear when you find change in me | D |
Though from me you be estranged | E |
Let my change to ruin be ' | - |
- | |

Leave to see and leave to wonder | G |

Can learn how myself to sunder | G |
From what in my heart doth lie ' | - |

With time still the affection groweth | B |

Bids you leave such minds to nourish | J |
'Dear do reason no such spite | A |
Never doth thy beauty flourish | J |
More than in my reason's sight ' | - |

But the wrongs love bears will make | K |
Love at length leave undertaking | L |
'No the more fools do it shake | K |
In a ground of so firm making | L |
Deeper still they drive the stake ' | - |

Peace I think that some give ear | M |
Come no more lest I get anger | G |
'Bliss I will my bliss forbear | G |
Fearing sweet you to endanger | G |
But my soul shall harbour there ' | - |
- | |
Well begone begone I say | N |
Lest that Argus' eyes perceive you | O |
'O unjust Fortune's sway | N |
Which can make me thus to leave you | O |
And from louts to run away ' | - |
