Andrew Macphail, comp. The Book of Sorrow. 1916.

From ‘The Knight of the Burning Pestle’

Francis Beaumont (1584–1616) and John Fletcher (1579–1625)

COME you whose loves are dead,

And, whiles I sing,

Weep, and wring

Every hand, and every head

Bind with cypress and sad yew,

Ribands black and candles blue

For him that was of men most true!

Come with heavy mourning,

And on his grave

Let him have

Sacrifice of sighs and groaning;

Let him have fair flowers enow,

White and purple, green and yellow,

For him that was of men most true!
