O* lest | the world | should task | you to |
recite

What mer|it lived | in me | that you | should
love

,
After my | death (dear love)| forget | me
quite,
, , , , ,
For you | in me | can noth|ing worth|y prove.

Unless | you would | devise | some vir|tuous lie,

,
To do more for | me than | mine^own | desart,
, , , ,
,
And hang | more praise | upon | deceas|ed I
, , , , ,
Than nig|gard truth | would will|ingly | impart:
, , , ,
,
O* lest | your true | love^may | seem*^false | in
this
, , , ,
,
That you | for love | speak^well | of me | untrue,
, , , ,
,
My name | be bur|ied where | my bod|y is,
, , , ,
,
And live | no more | to shame | nor me,| nor you.
, , , ,
,
For I | am shamed | by that | which I | bring
forth,
, , , ,
,
And so | should you,| to love | things^noth|ing
worth.
