Full Lyrics

I smile to see how you devise, new masking nets my eyes to blear: Your self you cannot so disguise: but as you are, you must appear. Your privy winks at board I see and how you set your roving mind: Your self you cannot hide from me, although I wink, I am not blind. The secret sighs and fainéd cheer, that oft doth pain thy careful breast: To me right plainly doth appear, I see in whom thy heart doth rest. And though thou makest a fainéd vow, that love no more thy heart should nip, Yet think I know as well as thou, the fickle helm doth guide thy ship. Therefore leave off thy wonted play, but, as thou art, thou wilt appear, Unless thou canst devise a way, to dark the Sun that shines so clear. And keep thy friend that thou hast won, in truth to him thy love supply, Least he at length as I have done, take off thy Belles and let thee fly.
