Though Far From Joy Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

Though far from joy, my sorrows are as far
And I both between
Not too low, nor yet too high
Above my reach would I be seen
Happy is he that so is placed
Not to be envied, nor to be disdain’d or disgraced
The higher trees, the more storms they endure
Shrubs be trodden down
But the mean, the golden mean
Doth only all our fortunes crown
Like to a stream that sweetly slideth
Through the flowery banks, and still in the midst his course guideth
