[00:00:00] Third Booke of Songes, 1603 - XVIII. It was a time when silly bees - The Consort Of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

[00:00:00] Written by：John Dowland

[00:00:00] It was a time when silly bees could speak

[00:00:08] And in that time I was a silly bee

[00:00:15] Who fed on time until my heart 'gan break

[00:00:23] Yet never found the time would favour me

[00:00:30] Of all the swarm I only did not thrive

[00:00:38] Yet brought I wax and honey to the hive

[00:00:43] Of all the swarm I only did not thrive

[00:00:51] Yet brought I wax and honey to the hive

[00:00:59] Then thus I buzzed when time no sap would give

[00:01:07] Why should this blessed time to me be dry

[00:01:15] Sith by this time the lazy drone doth live

[00:01:23] The wasp the worm the gnat the butterfly

[00:01:31] Mated with grief I kneeled on my knees

[00:01:39] And thus complained unto the king of bees

[00:01:45] Mated with grief I kneeled on my knees

[00:01:54] And thus complained unto the king of bees

[00:02:02] My liege gods grant thy time may never end

[00:02:11] And yet vouchsafe to hear my plaint of time

[00:02:18] Which fruitless flies have found to have a friend

[00:02:26] And I cast down when atomies do climb

[00:02:34] The king replied but thus peace peevish bee

[00:02:43] Thou'rt bound to serve the time the time not thee

[00:02:48] The king replied but thus peace peevish bee

[00:02:57] Thou'rt bound to serve the time the time not thee
