From Farmer's First set of madrigals, London 1599. Anacruses in the tenor part, and occasionally eccentric underlay are not errors but deliberate: a visual and aural pun on the title, "take time".
Lyrics: Anon

Take time while time doth last;
Mark how fair fadeth fast;
Beware if envy reign;
Take heed of proud disdain.
Hold fast now in thy youth;
Regard thy vowed truth;
Lest, when thou waxeth old,
Friends fail and love grow cold.
