Have all our passions? Matches base text
Language: English
Have all our passions certain proper vents, And sorrow none that is her own, But she must borrow others' complements To make her inward feelings known? Are joy's delights and death's compassion shown With one like face and one lamenting part? Then only thou, poor heart, That know'st more reason why, Pine, fret, consume, swell, burst and die.
Composition:
- Set to music by John Danyel (1564 - 1626), "Have all our passions?", from Mrs. M. E. Her Funeral Tears for the Death of her Husband, no. 3
