Rest, sweet nymphs, let golden sleep
Charm your star-brighter eyes,
While my lute her watch doth keep
With pleasing sympathies.
     Lullaby, lullaby,
Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly,
Let nothing affright ye,
     In calm contentments lie.

Thus, dear damsels, I do give
Good night, and so am gone;
With your hearts' desires long live,
Still joy and never mourn.
     Lullaby, lullaby,
Hath eas'd you and pleas'd you,
And sweet slumber seized you,
     And now to bed I hie.
