      And is it night, are they thine eyes that shine,

          Are we alone and here and here alone,

      May I come neere but touch but touch thy shrine,

          Is Iealousie asleepe and he is gone

      O Gods no more, silence my lippes with thine

          Lippes, kisses, Ioyes haue blessings most deuine.

      O come my deare our griefs are turnde to night,

          And night to ioyes, night blinds pale enuies eyes,

      Silence and sleepe prepare vs our delight,

          O ease we then our woes, our griefs, our cries,

      O vanish words, words doe but passions moue,

          O deerest life, ioyes sweet, O sweetest loue.
