Tune Thy Music
Thomas Campion
Tune thy Music to thy heart,
Sing thy joy with thanks, and so thy sorrow:
Though Devotion needs not Art,
Sometimes of the poor the rich may borrow.
Strive not yet for curious ways:
Concord pleaseth more, the less ʼtis strained
Zeal affects not outward praise,
Only strives to show a love unfained.
Love can wondrous things effect,
Sweetest sacrifice, all wrath appeasing
Love the highest doth respect
Love alone to him is ever pleasing.
