149437 : Dering : And the king was moved : sheet music
Catalogued as Choral - Sacred

Dering set this text twice, in both English (Geneva Bible) and Latin (Vulgate). The English version is perhaps an early work, pre-dating his conversion to Catholicism.
Lyrics: 2 Samuel 18:33

And the king was moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom: would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son.
