1. By a fountain where I lay

(All blessed be that blessed day!),By the glimm’ring of the sun(O never be her shining done !)When I might see aloneMy true love’ fairest one,Love’s delight,

Love’s clear sight ; No world’s eyes can clearer see,A fairer sight none can be.

2. Fair with garlands all address’d,

Was never nymph more fairly blest,

Blessed in the high’st be,So may she ever blessed be,Came to this fountain near With such a smiling cheer,Such a face,

Suche a grace,Happy, happy eyes that seeSuch a hearv’nly sight as she.

Can she excuse my wrongsà quatre voix

2

Nomenclature :

c Cantus

d Altus

e Tenor

h Bassus

Source : The First Booke of Songes or Ayres of foure partes (1597).

1. Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue’s cloak ?

Shall I call her good when she proves unkind ?Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke ?Must I Praise the leaves where no fruit I find ?

No, no; where shadows do for bodies stand,Thou may’st be abus’d if thy sight be dim.Cold love is like to words written on sand,

Or to bubbles which on the water swim.Wilt thou be thus abused still,Seeing that she will right thee never?If thou canst not o’ercome her will,Thy love will be be thus fruitless ever.

2. Was I so base, that I might not aspireUnto those high joys which she holds from me ?As they are high, so high is my desire,If she this deny, what can granted be ?If she will yield to that which reason is,

It is reason’s wikk that love should be just.Dear, make me happy still by granting this,Or cut off delays if that I die must.Better a thousand times to die,Than for to love thus still tormented :Dear, but remember it was I

Who for thy sake did die contented.

1. Come again, sweet love doth now invite

Thy graces that refrainTo do me due delight,To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die

With thee again in sweetest sympathy.

2. Come again, that I may cease to mournThrough thy unkind disdain ;For now left and forlornI sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I dieIn deadly pain and endless misery.

Come, heavy sleepà quatre voix

28/52

Nomenclature :

c Cantus

d Altus

e Tenor

h Bassus


1. Come, heavy sleep, the image of true death,

And close up these my weary weeping eyes,Whose spring of tears doth stop my vital breast,And tears my heart with sorrow’s sighswoll’n cries.

Come, and possess my tired thoughtworn soul,That living dies, till thou on me be stole.

2. Come, shadow of my end and shape of restAllied to death, child to this blackfaced night ;Come thou, and charm these rebels in my breast,Whose waking fancies do my mind affright.O come, sweet sleep, come, or I die for ever ;Come, ere my last sleep comes or come never.

Go, crystal tearsà quatre voix


2


37/52

Nomenclature :

b Cantus d Altus e Tenor h Bassus


1. Go, crystal tears, like to the morning showers,

And sweetly weep into thy Lady’s breast ;And as the dews revive the drooping flowers,So let your drops of pity be address’d,

To quicken up the thoughts of my desert,Which sleeps too sound, whilst I from her depart.

2. Haste, restkess sighs, and let your burning breathDissolve the ice of her indurate heart,While frozen rigour, like forgetful death,Feels never any touch of my desert ;Yet sighs and tears to her I sacrifice,

Both from a spotless heart and patient eyes.

Nomenclature :

b Cantus c Altus e Tenor h Bassus

Source : The Third and Last Booke of Songs or Aires (1603).

1. Weep you no more, sad fountains ;

What need you flaw so fast ?Look how tha snowy moutainsHeav’n’s sun doth gently waste.But my sun’s heav’nly eyesView not your weeping,That now lies sleeping,

Softly lies sleeping.

2. Sleep is a reconciling,A rest that peace begets :Doth not the sun rise smiling,

When fair at ev’n he sets.Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,Melt not in weeping,While she lies sleeping,Softly lies sleeping.
