lirik lagu richard mitchley - henry king - renunciation

Loading...

we, that did nothing study but the way
to love each other, with which thoughts the day
rose with delight to us and with them set
must learn the hateful art, how to forget
we, that did nothing wish that heaven could give
beyond ourselves, nor did desire to live
beyond that wish, all these now cancel must
as if not writ in faith, but words and dust
yet witness those clear vows which lovers make
witness the chaste desires that never brake
into unruly heats; witness that breast
which in thy bosom anchor’d his whole rest—
’tis no default in us: i dare acquite
thy maiden faith, thy purpose fair and white
as thy pure self. cross planets did envy
us to each other, and heaven did untie
faster than vows could bind. oh, that the stars
when lovers meet, should stand opposed in wars!

since then some higher destinies command
let us not strive, nor labour to withstand
what is past help. the longest date of grief
can never yield a hope of our relief:
fold back our arms; take home our fruitless loves
that must new fortunes try, like turtle~doves
dislodged from their haunts. we must in tears
unwind a love knit up in many years
in this last kiss i here surrender thee
back to thyself.—so, thou again art free:
thou in another, sad as that, resend
the truest heart that lover e’er did lend
now turn from each: so fare our sever’d hearts
as the divorced soul from her body parts
