anacreon's ode, call'd, the lute - henry lawes lyrics

Loading...

i long to sing the seidge of troy;
or thebe’s which cadmus rear’d so high;
but though with hand & voice i strove
my lute will sound nothing but love

i chang’d the strings
but ‘twould not do’t;
at last i took an other lute;
& then i tri’d to sing the praise
of all*performing hercules

but when i sung alcide’s name
my lute resounds love, love again
the farewell all ye græcian peers
and all true trojan cavalleers:
nor godds nor men my lute can move;
’tis dumb to all but love, love, love

- henry lawes lyrics
