ghizela rowe - george gascoigne - and if i did, what then? lyrics
Loading...
“and if i did, what then?
are you aggriev’d therefore?
the sea hath fish for every man
and what would you have more?”
thus did my mistress once
amaze my mind with doubt;
and popp’d a question for the nonce
to beat my brains about
whereto i thus replied:
“each fisherman can wish
that all the seas at every tide
were his alone to fish
“and so did i (in vain)
but since it may not be
let such fish there as find the gain
and leave the loss for me
“and with such luck and loss
i will content myself
till tides of turning time may toss
such fishers on the shelf
“and when they stick on sands
that every man may see
then will i laugh and clap my hands
as they do now at me.”
