thomas campion - good men, show if you can tell lyrics

Loading...

good men, shew, if you can tell
where doth humane pittie dwell ?
farre and neere her would i seeke
so vext with sorrow is my brest
she, (they say) to all, is meeke
and onely makes th’ vnhappie blest

oh ! if such a saint there be
some hope yet remaines for me :
prayer or sacrifice may gaine
from her implored grace reliefe ;
to release mee of my paine
or at the least to ease my griefe

young am i, and farre from guile
the more is my woe the while :
falshood with a smooth disguise
my simple meaning hath abus’d :
casting mists before mine eyes
by which my senses are confus’d

fair he is, who vow’d to me
that he onely mine would be ;
but, alas, his minde is caught
with eu’ry gaudie bait he sees :
and too late my flame is taught
that too much kindnesse makes men freese
from me all my friends are gone
while i pine for him alone ;
and not one will rue my case
but rather my distresse deride :
that i thinke there is no place
where pittie euer yet did bide
