Lyrics Two From Shakespeare: Full Fathom Five/ Perchance to Win - Pete Seeger




Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell, Ding-dong.
Hark! now I hear them, ding-dong, bell.
To fight, perchance to win, aye, there′s the rub
For victory brings power and prestige
And the children of the children of the fighters
Take all for granted, and, in turn, oppress.



Writer(s): Mu: Pete Seeger
