Was This Fair Face the Cause? Lyrics by Virgil Thomson

Five Shakespeare Songs

0

Was this fair face the cause, quoth she
Why the Grecians sacked Troy?
Fond done, done fond
Was this King Priam’s joy?
With that she sigh’d as she stood
With that she sigh’d as she stood
And gave this sentence then
Among nine bad if one be good
Among nine bad if one be good
There’s yet one good in ten
