whose beams me nourish?  
whose beams me nourish?  
Alas, who now comforteth, alas, or doth me cherish?  
Alas, who now comforteth, alas, or doth me cherish?  
Pained with grief so cruel, O, if it so must needs be,
Pained with grief so cruel,
my wicked Fortune, how can she further harm me?
O, if it so must needs be, my wicked Fortune,  
O, if it so must needs be, my wicked Fortune,  
how can she further harm me?
how can she further harm me?

Must I part, O, my Jewel, hapless from my fair Sun,
whose beams me nourish?
Alas, who now comforteth, alas, or doth me cherish?
Pained with grief so cruel,
O, if it so must needs be, my wicked Fortune,
how can she further harm me?
