Rest sweet nymphs let gold-en sleep

charm your star brigh- ter eyes,

while my lute the watch doth keep

with pleas- ing sym - pa-thies.

Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly,

let no-thing af - fright ye.

In calm con - tent - ments lie.
Dream fair virgins of delight,
and blest Elysian groves,
while the wand’ring shades of night
resemble your true loves.
Lulla lullaby, lulla lullaby,
your kisses, your blisses,
send them with your wishes,
although they be not nigh.
Thus dear damsels I do give
goodnight and so am gone,
with your hearts desires long live,
still joy and never moan.
Lulla lullaby, lulla lullaby,
hast pleased you and eased you,
and sweet slumber seized you,
and now to bed I hie.
