How often haue my sighes •…•…eclar'd mine anguish,
Wherein I daily languish?
Yet doth she still procure it,
Harke, let her goe for I cannot endure it:
Say, shall she goe,
Oh no, no, no, no,
She gaue the wound, and she alone must cure it.

Contra-Tenor.

At her faire hands:〈♫〉〈♫〉 O no, no, O no, no, Though she be marble hearted.

TENOR.

At her faire hands:〈♫〉〈♫〉 O no, no, O no, no though she be marble hearted.
