constant lambert - saraband lyrics
adieu, farewell earth’s blisse
this world uncertain is
fond are lifes l+stfull joyes
death proves them all but toyes
none from his darts can flye
i am sick i must die++
lord have mercy on us
rich men, trust not in wealth
gold cannot buy you health;
physic himself must fade
all things to end are made
the plague full swift goes by;
i am sick, i must die++
lord have mercy on us
beauty is but a flower
which wrinkles will devour
brightness falls from the air
queens have died young and fair
dust hath closed helen’s eye
i am sick, i must die++
lord have mercy on us
strength stoops unto the grave
worms feed on hector brave
swords may not fight with fate
earth still holds ope her gate;
come, come! the bells do cry;
i am sick, i must die++
lord have mercy on us
wit with his wantonness
tasteth death’s bitterness
h+ll’s executioner
hath no ears for to hear
what vain art can reply;
i am sick, i must die++
lord have mercy on us
haste therefore each degree
to welcome destiny:
heav’n is our heritage
earth but a player’s stage
mount we unto the sky
i am sick, i must die++
lord have mercy on us
