Hold out my heart, my heart, my heart hold,
Hold out my heart, with joy's delights accloyed,
hold out my heart, hold with joy's delights accloyed,
O hold thou out my heart, and show it,
O hold, hold thou out my heart, and show it,
That all the world may know it,
that all tbe world, the world may know it,
What sweet content thou lately hast enjoyed;
what sweet content thou lately hast enjoyed;
She that, "Come dear", would say,  
She that come dear would say,  
Then laugh and run away,
then laugh and run away,
And if I stayed her, thus would she then cry,
and if I stayed her thus would she then cry,
"Nay, fie for shame", my true love true not regarding;  
nay fie for shame fie,  
hath giv'n my love now at length his full rewarding.
my true love true not regarding;  
So that unless I may tell the joys that overfill me,
hath giv'n my love at length his full rewarding.
My joys kept in, I know in time will kill me.
So that unless I may tell the joys that do overfill me;
my joys kept in I know in time will kill me.

Hold out my heart, with joy's delights accloyed,
O hold thou out my heart, and show it,
That all the world may know it,
What sweet content thou lately hast enjoyed;
She that, "Come dear", would say,
Then laugh and run away,
And if I stayed her, thus would she then cry,
"Nay, fie for shame", my true love true not regarding;
hath giv'n my love now at length his full rewarding.
So that unless I may tell the joys that overfill me,
My joys kept in, I know in time will kill me.
