WHen I heard a Trumpet sound, Down I laid upon the ground, And did listen to a sound, Which made the Ecchoes to rebound, Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long.
Underneath a Mirtle tree, All alone sat fair Daphne; On her lap a Lute she laid, Whereupon she sweetly plaid. Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long.

THe wil Bulld and savage Bear, Roaring came this voice to hear: When they heard fair Daphne's voice, Suddenly they ceast their noise. Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. Out of the woods the nimble Deer, Tripping came this voice to hear: All about her they did throng, And did listen while she sung, Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. Tygers, Wolves, and Lyons strong, Came to hear fair Dapne's song, And they all stood in amaze, When her voice she once did raise: Still she sung this mournful Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. With her voice, her Lute kept time, Whilst she sung this doleful rhime, Then she lookt, and long did wait, Still she thought her Love too late. Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. On the grassy plain she sat, Sore bewailing her sad fate, Still expecting of her Dear, Wishing that he has been there: Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long.
Sure thou hast forgot me quite, Or hast found some new delight, That I here must sit alone, For thy absence making moan. Still she sung this mournful Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. Some disaster at this time, Hath befallen the Lover mine, That thou art so long me fro, And so fills my heart with woe. Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st so long. Thus she did bewail her case, As she sat upon this place, Whilst the savage Beasts so grim, Tamely stood to hear her sing, Mournfully she sung this Song, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou stay'st too long. When her Lover came at last, At this sight he was agast, Then she bid him fear no harm, For these wild beasts, she would charm. Suddenly she chang'd her Song, Singing, O my love, O my love, O my love, thou hast stay'd too long. Then they sweetly did imbrace, In that flowry shady place, Whilst the frighted beasts did skip, To the woods, and nimbly trip: Thus she sung melodiously, O my love, O my love, O my love, Welcome to me.
