O Death Lyrics
(In water...)Toll on, thou passing bell;Ring out my doleful knell;For I must...There is no remedy.My pains, my pains, who can express?Alas, they are so strong!My dolours will not suffer strengthMy life for to prolong.Toll on, thou passing bell;Ring out my doleful knell;For I must...There is no remedy.Farewell, farewell, my pleasures past!Welcome, my present pain!I feel my torment so increaseThat life cannot remain.(My Lord, my Lord)(...)(hear me...)[Lyrics by an anonymous author (ca. 1576)]
