Fear no more the heat o' the sun, | Fear no more the heat o' the sun, | ||
Nor the furious winter's rages; | Nor the furious winter's rages; | ||
Thou thy worldly task hast done, | Thou thy worldly task hast done, | ||
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages. | Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages; | ||
Golden lads and girls all must, | |||
All follow thee, and come to dust. | |||
Fear no more the frown o' the great; | Fear no more the frown o' the great; | ||

Care no more to clothe and eat; | Care no more to clothe and eat; | ||
To thee the reed is as the oak: | To thee the reed is as the oak: | ||
The sceptre, learning, physic, must | |||
All follow this, and come to dust. | |||
Fear no more the lightning-flash, | Fear no more the lightning-flash, | ||

Fear not slander, censure rash; | Fear not slander, censure rash; | ||
Thou hast finished joy and moan; | Thou hast finished joy and moan; | ||
All lovers young, all lovers must | |||
Consign to thee, and come to dust. | |||
No exorciser harm thee! | No exorciser harm thee! | ||

Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages; Golden lads and girls all must, All follow thee, and come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o' the great; Thou art past the tyrant's stroke: Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak: The sceptre, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning-flash, Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone; Fear not slander, censure rash; Thou hast finished joy and moan; All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust.
No exorciser harm thee! Nor no witchcraft charm thee! Ghost unlaid forbear thee! Nothing ill come near thee! Quiet consummation have; And renownéd be thy grave!
