thomas campion - what is it that all men possess lyrics

Loading...

what is it all that men possesse, among themselues conuersing?
wealth or fame, or some such boast, scarce worthy the rehearsing
women onely are mens good, with them in loue conuersing

if weary, they prepare vs rest ; if sicke, their hand attends vs;
when with griefe our hearts are prest, their comfort best befriends vs:
sweet or sowre, they willing goe to sharе what fortune sends vs

what pretty babеs with paine they beare, our name and form presenting!
what we get, how wise they keepe ! by sparing, wants preuenting;
sorting all their houshold cares to our obseru’d contenting

all this, of whose large vse i sing, in two words is expressed;
good wife is the good i praise, if by good men possessed;
bad with bad in ill sute well ; but good with good liue blessed
