Fraile man, despise the treasures of this life by John Bull — Lyrics

John Bull English Secular Madrigals Staff notation

Full Lyrics

Fraile man despise the treasures of this life, Earth's wealth is want, joy sorrow, peace and strife. Dame Fortune's bitter sweetes doe not affect, Her happiest state's unworthy thy respect. For like as Jonah's gourd, even in a night Springs up and dies againe this world's delight.
