Thomas Campion – The Man of Life Upright Lyrics
Artist: Thomas Campion
Song: The Man of Life Upright
The man of life vpright
Whose chearfull minde is free
From waight of impious deedes
And yoake of vanitee;
The man whose silent dayes
In harmelesse ioyes are spent
Whom hopes cannot delude
Nor sorrowes discontent;
That man needes neyther towres
Nor armour for defence:
Nor vaults his guilt to shrowd
From thunders violence;
Hee onely can behold
With vnaffrighted eyes
The horrors of the deepe
And terrors of the Skiеs
Thus, scorning all the cares
That fate or fortunе brings
His Booke the Heau’ns hee makes
His wisedome heau’nly things;
Good thoughts his surest friends
His wealth a well-spent age
The earth his sober Inne
And quiet pilgrimage
