《Dowland: First Booke of Songes， 1597 - 5. Can she excuse my wrongs》歌词

[00:00:00] can she excuse my wrongs with virtue's cloak?

[00:00:07] shall i call her good when she proves unkind?

[00:00:14] are those clear fires which vanish into smoke?

[00:00:22] must i praise the leaves where no fruit i find?

[00:00:29] no, no, where shadows do for bodies stand

[00:00:36] thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dimmed

[00:00:43] cold love is like to words written on sand

[00:00:51] or to bubbles which on the water swim

[00:00:58] wilt thou be thus abused still

[00:01:01] seeing that she will right thee never?

[00:01:05] if thou cans't not o'ercome her will

[00:01:09] thy love will be thus fruitless ever

[00:01:13] wilt thou be thus abused still

[00:01:16] seeing that she will right thee never?

[00:01:20] if thou cans't not o'ercome her will

[00:01:23] thy love will be thus fruitless ever

[00:01:29] was i so base, that i might not aspire

[00:01:36] unto those high joys which she holds from me?

[00:01:44] as they are high, so high is my desire

[00:01:51] if she this deny, what can granted be?

[00:01:58] if she will yield to that which reason is

[00:02:05] it is reason's will that love should be just

[00:02:13] dear, make me happy still by granting this

[00:02:20] or cut off delays if that i die must

[00:02:27] better a thousand times to die

[00:02:31] than for to live thus still tormented

[00:02:34] dear, but remember it was i

[00:02:38] who for thy sake did die contented

[00:02:42] better a thousand times to die

[00:02:45] than for to live thus still tormented

[00:02:49] dear, but remember it was i

[00:02:52] who for thy sake did die contented
