Shall I sue, shall I seeke for grace



John Dowland - Shall I sue, shall I seeke for grace - текст песни (слова)

Shall I sue, shall I seek for grace?
 Shall I pray shall I prove?
 Shall I strive to a heav'nly joy,
 With an earthly love?
 
 Shall I think that a bleeding heart
 Or a wounded eye,
 Or a sigh can ascend the clouds,
 To attain so high?
 
 Silly wretch, forsake these dreams
 Of a vain desire,
 O bethink what high regard
 Holy hopes do require.
 
 Favour is as fair as things are,
 Treasure is not bought,
 Favour is not won with words,
 Nor the wish of a thought.
 
 Justice gives each man his own,
 Though my love be just,
 Yet will not she pity my grief,
 Therefore die I must.
 
 Silly heart then yield to die
 Perish in despair,
 Witness yet how fain I die,
 When I die for the fair.
