¶Lyrics / Text

Sound, sound saddest notes with rueful moaning, Tune every strain with tears and weeping, Conclude each close with sighs and groaning Sing, but your song no Music keeping, save direful sound of dismal word, Shelton is slain with fatal sword. Let every sharp in sharp tune figure the too sharp death he hath endured, let every flat show forth the rigour of Fortune's spite to all inured, And in his death and Fortune tell that neither death nor fates did well.
