Hold out my heart, with joy's delights accloyed
O hold thou out my heart, and show it
That all the world may know it
What sweet content thou lately hast enjoyed;
She that, "Come dear", would say
Then laugh and run away
And if I stayed her, thus would she then cry
"Nay, fie for shame, fie"
My true love true not regarding;
Hath giv'n my love now at length his full rewarding
So that, unless I may tell the joys that overfill me
My joys kept in, I know in time will kill me
Hold out my heart was written by Thomas Morley.
