English text
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
O slower yet, O fainter gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
Our beauty is not ours;
O, could I still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Fall down, fall down, fall down
Since summer's pride is now a withered daffodil.
NB. The set text (above) seems to be Horsley's slight variation of Ben Jonson's original poem:
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears ;
Yet slower, yet ; O faintly gentle springs :
List to the heavy part the music bears,
Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
Droop herbs and flowers ;
Fall grief in showers ;
Our beauties are not ours ;
O, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature's pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
