First Line: Music's rich master and the offspring
Last Line: Beyond thine own deserts can never raise thee.
Subject(s): Ferrabosco, Alphonso (1575-1628)


MUSIC'S rich master and the offspring
Of rich music's father,
Old Alfonso's image living,
These fair flowers you gather
Scatter through the British soil;
Give thy fame free wing,
And gain the merit of thy toil.
We whose loves affect to praise thee,
Beyond thine own deserts can never raise thee.
