Lyrics: Benjamin Griffin
Compare me to the child that plays with fire,
Or to the fly that dieth in the flame;
Or to the foolish boy that did aspire
To touch the glory of high heaven's frame.
No man to these me fitly can compare;
These live to die, I die to live in care.
Compare me to the child that plays with fire,
Or to the fly that dieth in the flame;
Or to the foolish boy that did aspire
To touch the glory of high heaven's frame.
No man to these me fitly can compare;
These live to die, I die to live in care.
