English text
O to die what should move thee, I love thee,
but plain to make it, ask what thou wilt, and take it.
This unawares doth daunt me,
else what thou wilt I grant thee.
O no, no, no, I request thee,
to tarry but some fitter time and leisure.
No no no no, dear, do not languish,
Temper this sadness,
for time and love with gladness,
Once ere long will provide for this our anguish.
