Luyện nghe bài hát Can she excuse my wrongs? - The Earl of Essex's Galliard; First Booke

Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's
Shall I call her good when she proves
Are those clear fires which vanish into
Must I praise the where no fruit I find?

No, no, where shadows do for bodies
Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be
Cold love is like to words written on
Or to bubbles on the water swim
Wilt thou be thus still
Seeing that she right thee never?
If cans't not o'ercome her will
Thy love be thus fruitless ever

Wilt thou be thus still
that she will right thee never?
If thou cans't not o'ercome her
Thy love will be thus ever

Was I so base, that I might not
Unto high joys which she holds from me?
As they are high, so is my desire
If she this deny, what can be?

If she will to that which Reason is
It is Reason's will that Love be just
Dear, me happy still by granting this
Or cut off delays if that I die
a thousand times to die
Than for to thus still tormented
Dear, but it was I
Who for thy sake did die

Better a thousand to die
Than for to live thus still
Dear, but it was I
Who for thy did die contented
