thomas bateson – sweet gemma lyrics
Loading...
sweet gemma, when i first beheld thy beauty
i vow’d thee service, honour, love and duty;
o then, o then, i said the best
is hither come to make me blest;
but thou, alas! sweet thou
dost not regard my vow!
go, go, let me not see
cruel, though fairest thee
yet stay alway, be chainèd to my heart
with links of love, that we may never part;
then i’ll not call thee serpent, tiger cruel
but my sweet gemma, and my dearest jewel
