...
Yet of us twain whose loss shall be the less?
Mine of my life, or you of your good name,
light is my death regarding my distress,
but your offence cries to your defame:
A virgin fair hath slain for lack of grace,
the man that made an Idol of her face.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Yet of us twain", published 1589, stanza 2 [ SATB chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 18
