william byrd - care for thy soul lyrics

Loading...

care for thy soule as thing of greatest price
made to the end to tast of power devine
devoide of guilt, abhorring sinne and vice
apt by gods grace to vertue to encline
care for it so, as by thy retchlesse traine
it bee not brought to tast eternall paine

care for thy corps, but chiefly for souls sake
cut of excesse, sustaining food is best
to vanquish pride, but comely clothing take
seeke after sk!ll, deep ignorance detest:
care so i say, the flesh to feed and cloth
that thou harme not thy soule & body both

care for the world to do thy body right
rack not thy wit to win by wicked waies
seek not t’oppresse the weak by wrongfull might
to pay thy due do banish all delaies:
care to dispend according to thy store
and in like sort be mindfull of the poore

care for thy soule, as for thy chiefest stay
care for thy bodie for the soules availe
care for the world for bodies help alway
care yet but so as vertue may prevaile
care in such sort that thou be sure of this
care keep thee not from heaven & heavenly blis
