Boy pity me See base text
Language: English
...
Boy, pity me that am a child again,
blind be no more, my guide to make me stray,
man use thy might to force away my pain,
God do me good, and lead me to my way:
and if thou be'st a power to me unknown,
power of my life, let here thy grace be shown.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Boy pity me", published 1589, stanza 2 [ SATB chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 16
