Come
Death, I'd have a word with thee;
And
thou, poor Innocency;
And
Love-a Lad with broken wing;
And
Pity, too;
The
Fool shall sing to you,
As
Fools will sing.
...
Ay,
Music hath small sense,
And
a tune's soon told,
And
Earth is old,
And
my poor wits are dense;
Yet
have I secrets, --dark, my dear,
To
breathe you all. Come near.
And
lest some hideous listener tells,
I'll
ring my bells.
