lirik lagu anthony quayle - the passionate man's pilgrimage
give me my scallop sh~ll of quiet
my staff of faith to walk upon
my scrip of joy, immortal diet
my bottle of salvation
my gown of glory, hope’s true gage
and thus i’ll take my pilgrimage
blood must be my body’s balmer
no other balm will there be given
whilst my soul, like a white palmer
travels to the land of heaven;
over the silver mountains
where spring the nectar fountains;
and there i’ll kiss
the bowl of bliss
and drink my eternal fill
on every milken hill
my soul will be a~dry beforе
but after it will ne’er thirst morе;
and by the happy blissful way
more peaceful pilgrims i shall see
that have shook off their gowns of clay
and go apparelled fresh like me
i’ll bring them first
to slake their thirst
and then to taste those nectar suckets
at the clear wells
where sweetness dwells
drawn up by saints in crystal buckets
and when our bottles and all we
are fill’d with immortality
then the holy paths we’ll travel
strew’d with rubies thick as gravel
ceilings of diamonds, sapphire floors
high walls of coral, and pearl bowers
from thence to heaven’s bribeless hall
where no corrupted voices brawl
no conscience molten into gold
nor forg’d accusers bought and sold
no cause deferr’d, nor vain~spent journey
for there christ is the king’s attorney
who pleads for all without degrees
and he hath angels, but no fees
when the grand twelve million jury
of our sins and sinful fury
’gainst our souls black verdicts give
christ pleads his death, and then we live
be thou my speaker, taintless pleader
unblotted lawyer, true proceeder
thou movest salvation even for alms
not with a bribed lawyer’s palms
and this is my eternal plea
to him that made heaven, earth, and sea
seeing my flesh must die so soon
and want a head to dine next noon
just at the stroke when my veins start and spread
set on my soul an everlasting head
then am i ready, like a palmer fit
to tread those blest paths which before i writ
