Come, you whose loves are dead, And whiles I sing, Weep, and wring Every hand; and every head Bind with cypress and sad yew; Ribbons black and candles blue, For him that was of men most true! Come with heavy moaning, And on his grave Let him have Sacrifice of sighs and groaning; Let him have fair flowers enow, White and purple, green and yellow, For him that was of men most true!
