Come little babe, come silly soul,
Thy father's shame, thy mother's grief,
Born as I doubt to all our dole,
And to thy self unhappy chief.


'A Sweet Lullaby' (1597)


Come little babe, come silly soul, Thy father's shame, thy mother's grief, Born as I doubt to all our dole, And to thy self unhappy chief.

Come little babe, come silly soul, Thy father's shame, thy mother's grief, Born as I doubt to all our dole, And to thy self unhappy chief.

Come little babe, come silly soul, Thy father's shame, thy mother's grief, Born as I doubt to all our dole, And to thy self unhappy chief.

Come little babe, come silly soul, Thy father's shame, thy mother's grief, Born as I doubt to all our dole, And to thy self unhappy chief.
