Published in the collection of lute songs by various authors `A Musical Banquet` by Robert Dowland the composer`s son.
In darkness let me dwell; the ground shall sorrow be
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me;
The walls of marble black that moist`ned still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep.
Thus wedded to my woes and bedded in my tomb
O let me living die till death doth come till death doth come.
