Lyrics Can She Excuse My Wrongs - John Dowland
Can
she
excuse
my
wrongs
with
Virtue's
cloak?
Shall
I
call
her
good
when
she
proves
unkind?
Are
those
clear
fires
which
vanish
into
smoke?
Must
I
praise
the
leaves
where
no
fruit
I
find?
No
no:
where
shadows
do
for
bodies
stand,
Thou
may'st
be
abus'd
if
thy
sight
be
dim.
Cold
love
is
like
to
words
written
on
sand,
Or
to
bubbles
which
on
the
water
swim.
Wilt
thou
be
thus
abused
still,
Seeing
that
she
will
right
thee
never?
If
thou
canst
not
o'ercome
her
will
The
love
will
be
thus
fruitless
ever.
Was
I
so
base,
that
I
might
not
aspire
Unto
those
high
joys
which
she
holds
from
me?
As
they
are
high,
so
high
is
my
desire:
If
she
this
deny,
what
can
granted
be?
If
she
will
yeld
to
that
which
reason
is,
It
is
Reason's
will
that
Love
should
be
just.
Dear
make
me
happy
still
be
granting
this,
Or
cut
off
delays
if
that
die
I
must.
Better
a
thousand
times
to
die,
Than
for
to
live
thus
still
tormented:
Dear,
but
remember
it
was
I
Who
for
thy
sake
did
die
contended
