giles earle Chords req: Never weather beaten sail (T. Campion) (23) RE: Chords req: Never weather beaten sail (T. Campion) 28 Apr 11


I think the First Booke of Ayres was published ca. 1613, rather than 1603. The text I have is marginally different (and has different editorial punctuation); I haven't attempted to modernise the spelling:


Neuer weather-beaten Saile more willing bent to shore,
Neuer tyred Pilgrims limbs affected slumber more,
Than my wearied spright now longs to flye out of my troubled brest :
O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and take my soule to rest.

Euer-blooming are the ioys of Heau'ns high paradice,
Cold age deafes not there our eares, nor vapour dims our eyes :   
Glory there the Sun outshines, whose beames the blessed onely see ;
O come quickly, glorious Lord, and raise my spright to thee
