Then for a boat See base text
Language: English
...
Then for a bote his quiver stood in stead,
his bow unbent, did serve him for a mast,
whereby to saile his cloth of vaile hee spread,
his shaftes for ores on either bord he cast,
from shipwracke safe this wag got thus to shore,
& sware, to bath in lovers tears no more.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Then for a boat", published 1589, stanza 2 [ SAT chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 13
