"COME AGAIN, SWEET LOVE." John Dowland

1 Come again! sweet love cloth now invite Thy graces, that refrain To do me due delight; To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die, With thee again in sweetest sympathy. 2 Come again! that I may cease to mourn Through thy unkind disdain; For now, left and forlorn, I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die in deadly pain, and endless misery. 3 All the day the sun, that lends me shine, By frowns does cause me pine, And feeds me with delay, Her smiles, my springs, that make my joys to grow, Her frowns, her frowns the winters of my woe. 4 All the night, my sleeps are full of dreams, My eyes are full of streams My heart takes no delight, To see the fruits and joys that some do find, And mark the storms, the storms that are assigned.

The Headmaster.
