Song by John Wilbye Lyrics
Thou art but young, thou say'st,
And love's delight thou weigh'st not :
O, take time while thou may'st,
Lest when thou would'st thou may'st not.
If love shall then assail thee,
A double anguish will torment thee ;
And thou wilt wish (but wishes all will fail thee),
"O, me! that I were young again!" and so repent thee.
And love's delight thou weigh'st not :
O, take time while thou may'st,
Lest when thou would'st thou may'st not.
If love shall then assail thee,
A double anguish will torment thee ;
And thou wilt wish (but wishes all will fail thee),
"O, me! that I were young again!" and so repent thee.
