Had I a heart for falsehood framed - Brooks, James

♪

"Brooks expanded a song, from The Duenna, to four voices with accompaniment, most probably for use at the Bath Philharmonic Society. The provision of the accompaniment is atypical: Bath P.S. seems generally to have adhered to the purist practice of unaccompanied glee singing. In performance, the accompaniment, with its short "symphonies", may be abandoned."

¶Liedtext

Had I a heart for falsehood framed I ne'er could injure you; For, though your tongue no promise claimed, Your charms would make me true. To you no soul shall bear deceit, No stranger offer wrong, But friends in all the aged you'll meet, And lovers in the young. But when they learn that you have blest Another with your heart, They'll bid aspiring passions rest And act a brother's part; Then, Lady, dread not their deceit, Nor fear to suffer wrong, For friends in all the aged you'll meet, And lovers in the young.
