Sopran1
Weep, o mine eyes, weep, o mine eyes,
weep, o mine eyes and cease not,
Alas, these your springtides
Alas, these your springtides
methinks increase not.
O, when, o,when begin you to swell so high
that I may drown me in you,
that I may drown me in you.

methinks increase not,
methinks increase not.
O, when, o, when begin you to swell so high
that I may drown me in you,
that I may drown me in you.

O, when, o, when begin you to swell so high
that I may drown that I may drown me in you
that I may drown me in you.

that I may drown me in you
that I may drown me in you.
