The words
Verse 1
Weep, O mine eyes, and cease not, weep, O mine eyes, and cease not, weep, O mine eyes, weep, O mine eyes, and cease not, Alas, these your spring tides, alas, these your spring tides, me- thinks in- crease not. 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? you?
Free to sing: John Bennet died in 1615.
