Come away, come away, Death, And in sad cypress let me be laid; Fly away, fly away, breath, I am slain by a fair cruel maid. My shroud of white stuck all with yew, O prepare it! My part of death no one so true did share it.

A thousand thousand sighs to save, lay me O where Sad true lover never find my grave, to weep there!
