| Come away come away little fly | B |
| Don't disturb the sweet calm of lore's nest | C |
| If you do I protest you shall die | B |
| And your tomb be that beautiful breast | C |
| Don't tickle the girl in her sleep | D |
| Don't cause so much beauty to sigh | B |
| If she frown half the graces will weep | D |
| If she weep all the graces will die | B |
| Come away little fly c | E |

| Now she wakes steal a kiss and be gone | F |
| Life is precious away little fly | B |
| Should your rudeness provoke her to scorn | G |
| You'll meet death from the glance of her eye | B |
| Were I ask'd by fair Chloe to say | H |
| How I felt as the flutterer I chid | B |
| I should own as I drove it away | H |
| I wish'd to be there in its stead | B |
| Come away little fly c | E |
