CHORUS.
THEN UNDERSTAND YOU NOT (FAIR CHOICE)
THIS LANGUAGE
WITHOUT TONGUE OR VOICE?
I.
How often have my
tears
Invaded your soft ears,
And dropp'd their
silent chimes
A thousand thousand times?
Whilst
echo did your eyes,
And sweetly sympathize;
But
that the wary lid
Their sluces did forbid.
Cho. THEN UNDERSTAND YOU NOT (FAIR CHOICE)
THIS
LANGUAGE WITHOUT TONGUE OR VOICE?
II.
My arms
did plead my wound,
Each in the other bound;
Volleys of sighs did crowd,
And ring my griefs alowd;
Grones, like a canon-ball,
Batter'd the marble wall,
That the kind neighb'ring grove
Did mutiny for love.
Cho. THEN UNDERSTAND YOU NOT (FAIR CHOICE)
THIS
LANGUAGE WITHOUT TONGUE OR VOICE?
III.
The
rheth'rick of my hand
Woo'd you to understand;
Nay, in our silent walk
My very feet would talk;
My knees were eloquent,
And spake the love I meant;
But deaf unto that ayr,
They, bent, would fall in
prayer.
Cho. YET UNDERSTAND YOU NOT (FAIR CHOICE)
THIS LANGUAGE WITHOUT TONGUE OR VOICE?
IV.
No?
Know, then, I would melt
On every limb I felt,
And
on each naked part
Spread my expanded heart,
That
not a vein of thee
But should be fill'd with mee.
Whilst on thine own down, I
Would tumble, pant, and
dye.
Cho. YOU UNDERSTAND NOT THIS (FAIR CHOICE);
THIS LANGUAGE WANTS BOTH TONGUE AND VOICE.
