Time Stands Still (Arr. for Tenor, Soprano, Lute & Recorder) - Cantus Thuringia, Джон Доуленд

Time stands still with gazing on her face

Stands still and gaze for minutes

Houres and yeares, to give her place

All other things shall change

But shee ramaines the same

Till heavens changed have their course

And time hath lost his name.

Cupid doth hover up and downe

Blinded with her faire eyes

And fortune captive at her feete

Contem’d and conquerd lies.

Cupid doth hover up and downe

Blinded with her faire eyes

And fortune captive at her feete

Contem’d and conquerd lies.

When fortune, love and time attend on

Her with my fortunes, love, and time

I honour will alone

If bloudlesse envie say

Dutie hath no desert.

Dutie replies that envie knowes

Her selfe his faithfull heart

My setled vowes and spotlesse faith

No fortune can remove

Courage shall shew my inward faith

And faith shall trie my love.

My setled vowes and spotlesse faith

No fortune can remove

Courage shall shew my inward faith

And faith shall trie my love.
