TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS
Non vos relinquam
Non vos relinquam orphanos, alleluia.
Vado, et venio ad vos, alleluia.
Et gaudebit, cor vestrum, alleluia.
I will not leave you comfortless, alleluia.
I go, and I will come to you, alleluia.
And your heart shall rejoice, alleluia.
First Booke of Canzonets to Two Voyces
When Loe, by Breake of Morning
When loe, by breake of morning,
My love hir selfe adorning,
Doth walk the woods so daintie,
Gath’ring sweet violets and cowslips plenty,
The birds enamour’d sing and praise my Flora,
Loe heere a new Aurora.
Loe Heere Another Love
Loe heere another love from heav’n descended,
That with forces anew and with new darting,
doth would the hart, and yet doth breed no smarting.
I Goe Before My Darling
I goe before my darling,
Follow thou to the bowre in the close alley,
Ther wee will together
Sweetly kisse each eyther,
And like two wantons
Daly, daly, daly, daly.
Though Amarillis daunce in green
Though Amarillis daunce in green,
like Fayrie Queene,
and sing full cleere,
Corina can with smiling cheer:
yet since their eyes make hart so sore,
hey ho, chill love no more.
My sheepe are lost for want of food,
and I so wood:
that all the day,
I sit and watch a heardmaid gaye:
who laughes to see mee sigh so sore,
hey ho, chill love no more.
Her loving lookes, her beautie bright,
is such delight:
that all in vaine,
I love to like, and lose my gaine:
for her that thanks mee not therefore,
hey ho, chill love no more.
Ah wanton eyes my friendly foes,
and cause of woes:
your sweet desire,
breedes flames of ice and freese in fire:
yee skorne to see mee weep so sore,
hey ho, chill love no more.
Love yee who list I force him not,
sith God it wot,
the more I wayle,
he lesse my sighes and teares prevaile,
what shall I doe but say therefore,
hey ho, chill love no more.
The Sun Rising
Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why dost thou thus,
Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
Must to thy motions lovers’ seasons run?
Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide
Late school-boys and sour prentices,
Go tell court-huntsmen that the king will ride;
Call country ants to harvest offices;
Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
John Donne (1572-1631) [Stanza 1]
Raise, raise the voice
Raise, raise the voice!
Let the sweet lute its softest notes display;
For this is sacred Music’s holy day.
The god himself says he’ll be present here:
Dress’d in his brightest beams he will appear,
Not to the eye, but to the ravish’d ear.
“Crown the day with harmony,”
Hark! I hear Apollo cry,
“And let every generous heart
In the chorus bear a part.”
Mark, mark how readily each pliant string
Prepares itself, and as an off ’ring
The tribute of some gentle sound does bring.
Then all together in harmonious lays
To the sublimest pitch themselves they raise,
And loudly celebrate their Master’s praise.
Come raise up your voices, and let us dispute
For melodious notes with the viol and lute.
Apollo’s delighted with what we have done,
And clapping his hands cries, “Iô, go on.”
With a smile he does all our endeavours approve,
And vows he ne’er heard such a consort above.
