Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEF GHGHIFEF JKJLIFEF| Come let me sing into your ear | A |
| Those dancing days are gone | B |
| All that silk and satin gear | C |
| Crouch upon a stone | D |
| Wrapping that foul body up | E |
| In as foul a rag | F |
| I carry the sun in a golden cup | E |
| The moon in a silver bag | F |
| - | |
| Curse as you may I sing it through | G |
| What matter if the knave | H |
| That the most could pleasure you | G |
| The children that he gave | H |
| Are somewhere sleeping like a top | I |
| Under a marble flag | F |
| I carry the sun in a golden cup | E |
| The moon in a silver bag | F |
| - | |
| I thought it out this very day | J |
| Noon upon the clock | K |
| A man may put pretence away | J |
| Who leans upon a stick | L |
| May sing and sing until he drop | I |
| Whether to maid or hag | F |
| I carry the sun in a golden cup | E |
| The moon in a silver bag | F |
