First Line: Aske me, why I do not sing
Last Line: And my tongue at one time mute.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


Aske me, why I do not sing
To the tension of the string,
As I did, not long ago,
When my numbers full did flow?
Griefe (ay me!) hath struck my Lute,
And my tongue at one time mute.
