1. Rest, sweet nymphs, let golden sleep
Charm your starbrighter eyes,
Whiles my lute the watch doth keep
With pleasing sympathies.
|: Lulla lullaby, lullaby!
Sleep sweetly, Sleep sweetly,
Let nothing affright ye;
In calm contentments lie. :|
2. Thus, dear damsels, I do give
Good night, and so am gone.
With your hearts' desires long live,
Still joy and never moan.
|: Lulla lullaby, lullaby!
Hath pleased you And eased you
and slumber sweet seized you.
And now to bed I hie. :|
