| WHILE that the sun with his beams hot | |
| Scorchèd the fruits in vale and mountain, | |
| Philon the shepherd, late forgot, | |
| Sitting beside a crystal fountain | |
| In shadow of a green oak tree, | 5 |
| Upon his pipe this song play'd he: | |
| Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love! | |
| Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love! | |
| Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. | |
| |
| So long as I was in your sight | 10 |
| I was your heart, your soul, your treasure; | |
| And evermore you sobb'd and sigh'd | |
| Burning in flames beyond all measure: | |
| —Three days endured your love to me, | |
| And it was lost in other three! | 15 |
| Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love! | |
| Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love! | |
| Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. | |
| |
| Another shepherd you did see, | |
| To whom your heart was soon enchainèd; | 20 |
| Full soon your love was leapt from me, | |
| Full soon my place he had obtainèd. | |
| Soon came a third your love to win, | |
| And we were out and he was in. | |
| Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love! | 25 |
| Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love! | |
| Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. | |
| |
| Sure you have made me passing glad | |
| That you your mind so soon removèd, | |
| Before that I the leisure had | 30 |
| To choose you for my best belovèd: | |
| For all my love was pass'd and done | |
| Two days before it was begun. | |
| Adieu, Love, adieu, Love, untrue Love! | |
| Untrue Love, untrue Love, adieu, Love! | 35 |
| Your mind is light, soon lost for new love. | |
