Care in such sort that thou be sure of this: Care keep thee not from heaven and heavenly bliss.
More from William Byrd
- Care for thy corse, but chiefly for soul's sake; Cut off excess, sustaining food is best; To vanquish pride but comely clothing take
- So long as I was in your sight I was your heart, your soul, your treasure; And evermore you sobb'd and sigh'd Burning in flames beyond all …
- Care for thy soul as thing of greatest price, Made to the end to taste of power divine, Devoid of guilt, abhorring sin and vice
- Sure you have made me passing glad That you your mind so soon removed, Before that I the leisure had To choose you for my best beloved
