First Booke of Songes - V. Can She Excuse My Wrongs 歌詞
Dowland: First Booke of Songes - 5. Can She Excuse My Wrongs - Jane Edwards/Marshall McGuire
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
Though mayst be abused
If thy sight be dimmed
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 can't not overcome her will
Thy love will be thus fruitless ever
Wilt thou be thus abused still
Seeing that she will right thee never
If thou can't not overcome her will
Thy love will be thus fruitless ever
Was I so base
That I might not aspire
Unto 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 Reasons will
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 live thus
Still tormented
Dear but remember it was I
Who for thy sake did
Die contented
Better a thousand times to die
Than for to live thus still tormented
Dear
But remember it was I
Who for thy sake did
Die contented
