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 |
