Yet, sweet, take heed, all sweets are hard to get;
sting not her soft lips, Oh beware of that:
for if one flaming dart come from her eye,
was never dart so sharp, ah then you die !

Composition:

    Set to music by John Wilbye (1574 - 1638), "Yet, sweet, take heed", published 1609 [  vocal quintet ], madrigal
