Third Booke of Songes, 1603 - II. Time stands still - The Consort Of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

Written by：John Dowland/Peter Wadland

Time stands still with gleasing on her face

Stand still and glease for minutes

Hours and years to give her place

All other things shall change

But she remains the same

Till heavens changed have their course

And time had lost his name

Cupid doth hover up and down

Blinded with her fair eyes

And fortune captive at her feet

Contemned and conquer'd lies

Cupid doth hover up and down

Blinded with her fair eyes

And fortune captive at her feet

Contemn'd and conquer'd lies

When fortune love and time attend on

Her with my fortunes love and time

I honour will alone

If bloodless envy say

Duty hath no desert

Duty replies that envy knows

Herself his faithful heart

My settled vows and spotless faith

No fortune can remove

Courage shall show my inward faith

And faith shall try my love

My settled vows and spotless faith

No fortune can remove

Courage shall show my inward faith

And faith shall try my love
