a madrigal - herbert howells lyrics
Loading...
before me, careless, lying
young love his wares came crying
full soon the elf untreasures
his pack of pains and pleasures;
with roguish eye
he bids me buy
from out his pack of treasures
his wallet’s stuffed with blisses
with true*love knots and kisses
with rings and rosy fetters
and sugar’d vows and letters
he holds them out
with boyish flout
and bids me try the fetters
“nay, child,” i cry, “i know them;
there’s little need to shew them!
too wеll for new believing
i know thеir old deceiving
i am too old,”
i say, “and cold
today, for new believing”!
but still the wanton presses
with honey*sweet caresses
and still, to my undoing
he wins me with his wooing
to buy his ware
with all its care
it’s sorrow and undoing
