O that the learned poets by Orlando Gibbons Lyrics
O, that the learned poets of this time
Who in a lovesick line so well can speak
Would not consume good wit in hateful rhyme
But with deep care some better subject find
For if their music please in earthly things
How would it sound if strung with heav'nly strings?
Who in a lovesick line so well can speak
Would not consume good wit in hateful rhyme
But with deep care some better subject find
For if their music please in earthly things
How would it sound if strung with heav'nly strings?
