John Dowland - Fine knacks for ladies (The Consort Of Musicke Antony Rooley) | Текст песни

John Dowland (1563 – buried 20 February 1626) was an English composer, singer, and lutenist.

Fine Knacks for Ladies ====================

*
Fine knacks for ladies, cheap choice, brave and new
Good penniworthes, but money cannot woo;
I keep a fair, but for the fair to view;
A beggar may be liberal of love.

Tho' all my wares be trash,
the heart is true,
the heart is true,
the heart is true.

**
Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again,
My trifles come, as treasures from my mind,
It is a precious jewel to be plain,
Sometimes in shell, the orient pearls we find.

All others take a sheaf,
of me a grain,
of me a grain,
of me a grain.

***
Within the pack, pins, points, laces, and gloves
And diverse toys, fitting a country fair
But in my heart, where duty serves and loves,
Turtles and twins, courts brood, a heavenly pair.

Happy the heart that thinks,
of no removes,
of no removes,
of no removes.

================================

Borrowed from "An Elizabethan Song Book." John Dowland, Second Book of Songs or Ayres, 1600.
