it was a time when silly bees could speak - john dowland lyrics

Loading...

it was a time when silly bees could speak
and in that time i was a silly bee
who fed on time until my heart ‘gan break
yet never found the time would favour me
of all the swarm i only did not thrive
yet brought i wax and hney to the hive

then thus i buzzed when time no sap would give:
why should this blessed time to me be dry
sith by this time the lazy drone doth live
the wasp, the worm, the gnat, the b-tterfly?
mated with grief i kneeled on my knees
and thus complained unto the king of bees:

my liege, gods grant thy time may never end
and yet vouchsafe to hear my plaint of time
which fruitless flies have found to have a friend
and i cast down when atomies do climb
the king replied but thus: peace, peevish bee
thou’rt bound to serve the time, the time not thee
