	This Dowland piece is a little different in that Dowland provides his own accompaniment for this one; unlike nearly all of his other songs for which he simply suggests that viols and lutes improvise an accompaniment.

	Lyrics 1. My thoughts are winged with hopes, my hopes with love. Mount love unto the Moone in clearest night, and say as she doth in the heavens move, In earth so wanes and waxeth my delight: and whisper this, but softly in her ears, "Hope oft doth hang the head, and trust shed tears." 2. And you my thoughts that some mistrust do carry, If for mistrust my mistress do you blame, Say though you alter, yet you do not vary, As she doth change, and yet, remain the same: "Distrust doth enter hearts, but not infect, And love is sweetest seasoned with suspect." 3. If she, for this, with clouds do make her eyes, And make the heavens dark with her disdain, With windy sighs, disperse them in the skies, Or with thy tears dissolve them into rain: "Thoughts, hopes, and love return to me no more 'till Cynthia shine as she hath done before."
