The text Dowland used is the first stanza of a poem that can be found in ''Lyrics from the Song-Books of the Elizabethan Age''<ref name="Elizabethan"/>, although he altered the last line and changed "in" to "to" in the penultimate line. The poem is noted: "From ''John Coprario's Funeral Tears for the Death of the Right Honorable the Earl of Devonshire'', 1606 | |||

<poem> | |||
In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be, | |||
The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me, | |||
The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep, | |||
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep: | |||
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded in my tomb | |||
O let me dying live till death doth come. | |||
My dainties grief shall be, and tears my poisoned wine, | |||
My sighs the air through which my panting heart shall pine, | |||
My robes my mind shall suit exceeding blackest night, | |||
My study shall be tragic thoughts sad fancy to delight, | |||
Pale ghosts and frightful shades shall my acquaintance be: | |||
O thus, my hapless joy, I haste to thee.<ref name="Elizabethan"/></poem> | |||
