Third Booke of Songes, 1603 - XVIII. It was a time when silly bees - The Consort Of Musicke/Anthony Rooley[00:00:00]
Written by:John Dowland[00:00:00]
It was a time when silly bees could speak[00:00:00]
And in that time I was a silly bee[00:00:08]
Who fed on time until my heart 'gan break[00:00:15]
Yet never found the time would favour me[00:00:23]
Of all the swarm I only did not thrive[00:00:30]
Yet brought I wax and honey to the hive[00:00:38]
Of all the swarm I only did not thrive[00:00:43]
Yet brought I wax and honey to the hive[00:00:51]
Then thus I buzzed when time no sap would give[00:00:59]
Why should this blessed time to me be dry[00:01:07]
Sith by this time the lazy drone doth live[00:01:15]
The wasp the worm the gnat the butterfly[00:01:23]
Mated with grief I kneeled on my knees[00:01:31]
And thus complained unto the king of bees[00:01:39]
Mated with grief I kneeled on my knees[00:01:45]
And thus complained unto the king of bees[00:01:54]
My liege gods grant thy time may never end[00:02:02]
And yet vouchsafe to hear my plaint of time[00:02:11]
Which fruitless flies have found to have a friend[00:02:18]
And I cast down when atomies do climb[00:02:26]
The king replied but thus peace peevish bee[00:02:34]
Thou'rt bound to serve the time the time not thee[00:02:43]
The king replied but thus peace peevish bee[00:02:48]
Thou'rt bound to serve the time the time not thee[00:02:57]
