Philip Rosseter - What Then Is Love but Mourning? Lyrics

Lyrics What Then Is Love but Mourning? - Philip Rosseter



What then is love but mourning?
What desire but a self-burning?
Till she that hates doth love return
Thus I will mourn, thus will I sing,
Come away, come away, my darling.
Beauty is but a blooming,
Youth in his glory entombing;
Time hath a while which none can stay,
Then come away while I thus sing,
Come away, come away, my darling.
Summer in winter fadeth,
Gloomy night heav'nly light shadeth,
Like to the morn are Venus' flowers,
Such are her hours, then will I sing,
Come away, come away, my darling.

Philip Rosseter - Lute Songs (countertenor: Steven Rickards, lute: Dorothy Linell)

1 Come Let Us Sound with Melodie the Praises
2 Tune Thy Musicke to Thy Hart
3 Come You Pretty False-Ey'd Wanton
4 There Is None, O None but You
5 Sweet Exclude Me Not nor Be Divided
6 I Care Not for These Ladies
7 Though You Are Yoong and I Am Olde
8 Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire Loe Here I Burne
9 What Then Is Love but Mourning?
10 Shall I Come Sweet Love to Thee?
11 Beauty Since You So Much Desire
12 What Is It That All Men Possesse, Among Themselves Conversing?
13 The Sypres Curten of the Night Is Spread
14 Jacke and Jone They Thinke No Ill
15 It Fell on a Sommers Daie
16 When to Her Lute Corrina Sings
17 My Sweetest Lesbia, Let Us Live and Love
18 Her Rosie Cheekes, Her Ever Smiling Eyes
19 Faire If You Expect Admiring
20 There Is a Garden in Her Face
21 Author of Light, Revive My Dying Spright
22 Never Weather-Beaten Saile More Willing Bent to Shore
23 Most Sweet and Pleasing Are Thy Wayes O God
24 To Musicke Bent Is My Retyred Minde
25 Thou Joy'st Fond Boy, to Be by Many Loved
26 Turne All Thy Thoughts to Eyes
27 Vayle Love Mine Eyes, O Hide from Me
28 Miserere My Maker
