Stay a while my heavn’ly joy, I come with wings of love,
when envious eyes time shal remove.


Come when I cal, or tarrie til I come,<br>
If thy desire ever knew the griefe of delay,
if you bee deafe I must prove dumb.<br>
no danger could stand in thy way.


Stay a while my heavn’ly joy, I come with wings of love,<br>
O die not, ad this sorrow to my griefe
when envious eyes time shal remove.<br>
that languish here, wanting relief.


If thy desire ever knew the griefe of delay,<br>
What need wee languish? can love quickly flie:
no danger could stand in thy way.<br>
feare ever hurts more than jealousie.


O die not, ad this sorrow to my griefe<br>
Then securely envie scorning,
that languish here, wanting relief.<br>
let us end with joy our mourning,
 
jealousie still defie,
What need wee languish? can love quickly flie:<br>
and love till we die.}}
feare ever hurts more than jealousie.<br>
 
Then securely envie scorning,<br>
let us end with joy our mourning,<br>
jealousie still defie,<br>
and love till we die.

Edition notes: AATTB, 3 viols (2T, B), 2 lutes. I have transcribed Dowland's "base lute" exactly as in the original print, tuned a 4th below the "meane" (tenor G) lute, while being unsure whether such tunings still exist. Any advice from lutenists would be helpful and welcome. Viol parts in C clefs can be made available on request.

Come when I cal, or tarrie til I come,
if you bee deafe I must prove dumb.

Stay a while my heavn’ly joy, I come with wings of love,
when envious eyes time shal remove.

If thy desire ever knew the griefe of delay,
no danger could stand in thy way.

O die not, ad this sorrow to my griefe
that languish here, wanting relief.

What need wee languish? can love quickly flie:
feare ever hurts more than jealousie.

Then securely envie scorning,
let us end with joy our mourning,
jealousie still defie,
and love till we die.
