Hold out my heart, my heart, my heart hold,
hold out my heart, hold with joy's delights accloyed,
O hold, hold thou out my heart, and show it,
that all tbe world, 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 fie,
my true love true not regarding;
hath giv'n my love at length his full rewarding.
So that unless I may tell the joys that do overfill me;
my joys kept in I know in time will kill me.
