A Dieu to grief and discontent, and to these blubber'd eyes, Before my youthful dayes were spent, my torment did arise. I sigh and languish in mine anguish, my hopes are all cast down; My faithful Love doth it remove, and now the Day's mine own. My heart is overwhelm'd with care, alas, what can I do? Whilst I lament unto the air, my sorrows do renew: With woe my breast is still opprest, and joys are tumbled down; But now I find my love so kind, the Day it is mine own.
No trouble shall e're possess or break my heart with care, But I will live in happiness, as other Lovers are; Since at the last I have o'repast my troubles which are flown, I'le live in joy eternally, for now the Day's mine own. I can't express my daily grief which doth oppress my mind; But when my love came with relief, great comfort I did find; No sighs nor sobs nor bitter throbs shall throw my courage down, Since my true-love doth faithful prove for now the Day's mine own.
My heart's on fire with desire my Lover to injoy, Since to his favour I aspire, adieu to all annoy: I will embrace, in comely grace my love shall then be shown, Most tenderly I will lye by, for now the Day's mine own. The Mans Answer. M Y hearts delight, both day and night to thee I'le constant prove, For I have travel'd far and nigh, to find my faithful Love; I many a weary step have trod, and wander'd up and down; Kind Heavens gave what I did crave, and now the Day's our own. In Storms and Dangers by the Sea, great perils by the Land, And all was for the sake of thee, I was at thy command; My heart did almost melt away when once I saw thee frown, My own dear love doth constant prove, and now the Day's our own.
My Love and I did live in woe, for absence of each other, We sigh't and knew not what to do, for anguish did us smother; But we at last have overpast, the fates that so did frown; And now we taste what e're shall last, for now the Day's our own. Then to the Church these Lovers went United for to be; They liv'd in mirth and merriment, in pomp and gallantry; His whole delight was in her sight; she loved him alone; And with a kiss began their bliss, for now the Day's their own. Ye Lovers all a pattern take by these united hearts, All quarrelling and fraud forsake, and take each others parts: Then as I live all things will thrive that you can do or say; With a sweet kiss hide what's amiss, Then you will win the Day.
