John Dowland - Fine Knacks for Ladies (Emma Kirkby)
John Dowland(1563-1626)~Fine Knacks for Ladies
Emma Kirkby~Soprano
Anthony Rooley~Lute
From "Honey To The Hive / Songs by John Dowland"
Great gifts are guiles and look for gifts again,
My trifles come as treasures from my mind,
It is a precious jewel to be plain,
Sometimes in shell the Orient's pearls we find.
Of others take a sheaf, of me a grain.
Within this pack pins, points, laces and gloves,
And divers toys fitting a country fair,
But in my heart, where duty serves and loves,
Turtles and twins, Court's brood, a heav'nly pair.
Happy the man that thinks of no removes.
