Stay -

Stay, Time, awhile thy flying

Stay, Time, awhile thy flying

Stay, Time, awhile thy flying

Stay and pity me dying

For Fate and friends have left me

And of comfort (has) bereft me

Come, come, close my eyes;

Better to die blessed

Close my eyes, close my eyes

Come, come, close my eyes;

Than to live thus distressed

Stay, Time, awhile thy flying

To whom shall I disdain me?

When thus friends do I disdain me?

'Tis Time (that) must befriend me

Drown’d in sorrow, to end me

Come, come, close my eyes;

Better to die blessed

Close my eyes, close my eyes

Come, come, close my eyes;

Than to live thus distressed

Come, come, close my eyes;

Better to die blessed

Close my eyes, close my eyes

Come, come, close my eyes;

Than to live thus distressed

Ah-eyes

Better to die blessed

Close my eyes, close my eyes

(Come, come, close my eyes;

Better to die blessed

Close my eyes, close my eyes

Come, come, close my eyes)

Than to live thus distressed
