...
Love would discharge,
the dewty of his hart,
in beauties praise, whose greatnes doth denye,
wordes to his thoughts,
& thoughts to her desart,
which high conceyts since nothing can supply.
Love heere constraynd,
through conquest to confesse,
byds silence sighe,
that tongue cannot expresse.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Love would discharge", published 1589, stanzas 2-3 [ SATTB chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 34
