Lyrics: Michael Drayton
Upon a bank with roses set about
Where pretty turtles, joining bill to bill,
And gentle springs steal softly murmuring out,
Washing the foot of pleasure’s sacred hill;
There little Love sore wounded lies,
His bow and arrows broken,
Bedew'd with tears from Venus’ eyes.
O grievous to be spoken!
Upon a bank with roses set about
Where pretty turtles, joining bill to bill,
And gentle springs steal softly murmuring out,
Washing the foot of pleasure’s sacred hill;
There little Love sore wounded lies,
His bow and arrows broken,
Bedew'd with tears from Venus’ eyes.
O grievous to be spoken!
