Text Translation | Fear no more the heat o’ the sun Nor the furious winter’s rages Thou thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages; Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. Fear no more the lightning- ash, Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone; Fear not slander, censure rash; Thou hast nished joy and moan; All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust. No exorciser harm thee! Nor no witchcraft charm thee! Ghost unlaid forbear thee! Nothing ill come near thee! Quiet consummation have; And renownèd by thy grave! |
