¶Lyrics / Text

Of joys and pleasing pains I late went singing, O joys with pains! O pains with joys consenting! And little thought as then of now repenting; But now think of my then sweet bitter stinging, All day long I my hands, alas! go wringing, The baleful notes of which, my sad tormenting, Are ruth and moan, frights, sobs, and loud lamenting, From hills and dales, in my dull ears still ringing.
