"This piece is a setting of a poem by a friend (Charis Messalina) of the composer, and is largely homophonic, with some word painting. It can be performed one voice per part but would also sound well with a larger choir. Please let the composer know ([email protected]) if you intend to perform it."

¶Liedtext

My love, thou art not old: oh, say not so! Time’s sickle hath but touch’d thee glancingly; Thy course be only part arun, yet no Accompt may make those years’ advancing lie. What more advantage may proud youth propose To swell her score, with flaunting beauty’s grace Already surfeited? Ought she oppose Bright hairs, lithe limbs, a faultless carapace, A mind as blank as snow, a virgin slate Unused to weighty thought, a being so Unformed, to thee? Why, no, tis no debate, When but one word from thee were proof enow To claim thy lady’s adoration: Youth’s brashness, in compare, a toy: mere fashion.
