Oh! Take him gently Lyrics by John Eccles

0

O Take him gently from the Pile
And lay him here to rest
And I will scorch for him awhile;
If he must burn, then burn him in my Breast
For there is Fire, there is flame
Enough to set the World on fire

I'm arm’d, and declare
For a Vigerous war;
By my Bow and my Quiver I swear
Not a Rebel to Love will I spare
This Shaft I will draw to the Head
And shoot the great Persian, shoot him dead
The Tyrant shall die, there's one will deny him
Let him Court her with Crowns she shall fly him
This Shaft I will draw to the Head
And shoot the great Archer dead
