The words to this song may have been written by the Earl of Essex, about his stormy relationship
with Queen Elizabeth. [Pou82, page 226ff] This would explain why Dowland calls the instrumental
version of the tune (Page L-34), published after both Elizabeth and Essex were dead, The Earl of
Essex Galliard.

The underlay is confusing. The Lenvoy section is printed after the first verse, which has one set of words and a
repeat sign. The verse printed at the bottom of the canto part is two sets of words for the A music, but the Lenvoy
section is specified to be sung only after the second set. The repeat signs occur in the lute part, at the end of the A
section in the Canto part, and in Lenvoy for all parts, but not in the A section of any of the other vocal parts. There are
other reasonable interpretations, but I think Dowland probably meant Lenvoy to be sung (and repeated) after all three
verses are sung. I would not repeat any of the A section words, i.e., I would sing the A section 3 times with different
words each time.

The Canto part is written with no flats or sharps in the key signature; all other parts are written with a key signature
of one flat.

Second-X-O sweet woods,
O sweet woods the delight of solitarinesse

The refrain section at the beginning has no performance directions in the original. Some modern
editions treat it like a chorus, to be sung at the beginning and end and also between all the verses.
We decided to treat it like a West Gallery symphonia, and play it at the beginning and end but not
between every verse.
This is another one (besides Can she excuse my wrongs Page I-20) where the poem may have been
written by the Earl of Essex, who spent time in Wanstead when out of favor with Queen Elizabeth.

Note: I had originally repeated the B section to Restore, restore. The facsimile has both a begin and end repeat
between the A and the B sections, and also a repeat back to here squiggle at Least. Since it looks like the printer
may not have had one-way repeat bars, I am now repeating only to Least, which agrees with other modern editions I
have seen.
Note also that least here is an Elizabethan spelling for the word we spell lest, and not the word we spell least.

Unquiet thoughts your civil slaughter stint

Whoever thinks or hopes of love for love

My thoughts are winged with hopes

Can she excuse my wrongs

Now, o now, I needs must part

Deare, if you change,

Burst forth my tears

Go, crystall teares,

Thinkst thou then by thy fayning

Come away, come sweet love

Rest a while, you cruell cares

Sleep, waiward thoughts

All ye, whom love or fortune hath betraid;

Wilt thou unkind thus reave me of my heart,

Would my conceit, that first enforst my woe,

Come again: sweet love doth now invite

His golden locks time hath to silver turnd.

Awake, sweet love, thou art returnd:

Come heavy sleep, the image of true death,

Away with these selfe loving lads

I saw my Lady weepe:

Sorrow, sorrow stay,

Dye not before thy day

When others sings V enite exultemus: Third part.

Praise blindness eies,

O sweet woods the delight of solitarinesse

If floods of teares could cleanse my follies past,

Fine knacks for Ladies

Now cease my wandring eyes

Come ye heavy states of night

White as Lillies was her face,

Wofull hart with griefe oppressed,

Faction that ever dwells,

Tosse not my soule:

Farewell too faire,

Time stands still with gazing on her face,

Behold a wonder here

Daphne was not so chaste

Me me and none but me.

When Phbus first did Daphne love

VII. Say love if ever thou didst find,

VIII. Flow not so fast yee fountaines,

What if I never speede,

Love stood amazed

Lend your eares to my sorrow

By a fountain where I lay

It was a time when silly Bees could speake,
