The Silver Swan
O that the learned poets
I weigh not Fortune’s frown
I tremble not at noise of war
I see ambition never pleased
I feign not friendship where I hate
How art thou thralled
Farewell all joys
Dainty fine bird
Fair ladies that to Love captivated are
’Mongst thousands good
Now each flowery bank of May
Lais now old
What is our life?
Ah, dear heart, why do you rise?
Fair is the rose
Nay let me weep
Ne’er let the sun
Yet if that age
Trust not too much
Most popular songs of Orlando Gibbons
Nay let me weep
