john blow - a pastoral elegy lyrics
Loading...
as on his death+bed gasping strephon lay;
strephon the wonder of the plains;
the n0blest of the arcadian swains;
strephon the bold, the witty and the g+y:
with many a sigh, and many a tear he said
remember me, ye shepherds, when i’m dead
ye trifling glories of the world adieu
and vain applauses of the age;
for when we quit this mortal stage
believe me, shepherds, for i tell you true
those pleasures which from virtuous deeds we have
create the sweetest slumbers in the grave
then since your fatal hour will surely come
surely your heads lay low as mine
your bright meridian sun decline
beseech the mighty pan to guard you home
if in elysium you would happy be:
live not like strephon, but like strephon die
