Rest sweet nymphs by Francis Pilkington - live performance by the Pocket Score Company from our concert on June 3rd 2011. Originally a lute song, this is a four-part vocal arrangement of the piece.
1. Rest, sweet nymphs, let golden sleep
Charm your star brighter eyes,
While my lute the watch doth keep
With pleasing sympathies.
Lulla, lullaby. Lulla, lullaby.
Sleep sweetly, sleep sweetly,
Let nothing affright ye,
In calm contentments lie.
2. Dream, fair virgins, of delight
And blest Elysian groves,
While the wand'ring shades of night
Resemble your true loves.
Lulla, lullaby. Lulla, lullaby.
Your kisses, your blisses,
Send them by your wishes,
Although they be not nigh.
3. Thus, dear damsels,
I do give
'Good night', and so am gone:
With your hearts' desires long live,
Still joy, and never moan.
Lulla, lullaby. Lulla, lullaby.
Hath pleased you and eased you,
And sweet slumber seized you,
And now to bed I hie.
