Weep, weep, mine eyes
(John Wilbye, The Second Set of Madrigales to 3,4,5 and 6 parts, 1609)
Weep, weep, mine eyes, my heart can take no rest.
Weep, weep, my heart, mine eyes shall ne’er be blest.
Weep eyes, weep heart, and both this accent cry:
A thousand deaths, Flamminia, I die.
Ay me, ah cruel Fortune!
Now, Leander, to die I fear not.
Death, do thy worst! I care not!
I hope when I am dead in Elysian plain
To meet, and there with joy we'll love again.
Flora gave me fairest flowers
