There Is a Lady Sweet and Kind (Remastered 2023)

There is a lady sweet and kind,

Was never face so pleased my mind,

I did but see her passing by,

And yet I love her till I die.

Her gesture, motion and her smiles,

Her wit, her voice, my heart beguiles,

Beguiles my heart, I know not why,

And yet I love her till I die.

Cupid is wingèd, and doth range,

Her country so my love doth change:

But change she earth or change she sky,

Yet will I love her till I die.

Thomas Ford from ‘Musicke of Sundrie Kindes’ (1607)
