What Is a Day? Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

What is a day, what is a yeere?
Of vaine delight and pleasure?
Like to a dreame it endlesse dies
And from vs like a vapour flies :
And this is all the fruit that we finde
Which glorie in worldly treasure
He that will hope for true delight
With vertue must be graced ;
Sweete follie yeelds a bitter tast
Which euer will appeare at last :
But if we still in vertue delight
Our soules are in heauеn placed
