English text

1 Prithee cease thy sighing,
Pack thy care away;
Night sets care a-dying,
Turneth night to day.
Ah me, ah me!
What is got by sighing?

2 Hath thy mistress fooled thee?
Caused thee sleep to lose?
Maids as fair await thee,
Surely thou canst choose.
Ah me, ah me!
What is got by sighing?

3 Fretting killeth pleasure,
Makes thy love go cold;
Life's a merry measure,
Soon it groweth old.
Ah me, ah me!
What is got by sighing?
