...
But when by proof they find that he did see,
and that his wound did rather dim their sight,
they wonder more how such a lad as he,
should be of such surpassing power and might
but ants have galls, so hath the bee his sting,
then shield me heavens from such a subtle thing.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "But when by proof", published 1589, stanza 2 [ STT chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 11
