Edition notes: Transposed up a major 2nd, to make alto range easier. Where there are differences between #10154/#10571 and the Denis Stevens edition in The Penguin Book of Madrigals for 4 Voices (1967), I have followed Stevens, apart from the tierce de Picardy at the end. Includes a keyboard reduction of the a cappella choral score.

O sleep, fond fancy
My head, alas, thou tirest
with false delight of that which thou desirest.
Sleep, I say, fond fancy,
and leave my thoughts molesting.
Thy master's head hath need of sleep and resting.
