Come Again! Sweet Love Doth Now Invite Dowland Robinson Fischer
Forepart folio of First Booke of Songes or Ayres of Fowre Partes with Tableture for the Lute, 1597
"Come Again, sweet love doth now invite" is a vocal by John Dowland. The lyrics are bearding. The song is bitter-sweet, typical of Dowland who cultivated a melancholy style.[1]
It was included in Dowland's Kickoff Booke of Songes or Ayres, which appeared in 1597. The piece is oftentimes performed as a lute vocal by soloist and lute, but, like other songs in the Starting time Booke, information technology is printed in a format that tin too be performed as a madrigal by a small vocal grouping (typically SATB).
Lyrics [edit]
Come again!
Sweet beloved doth at present invite
Thy graces that refrain
To do me due delight,
To encounter, to hear, to bear upon, to buss, to die,
With thee again in sweetest sympathy.
Come again!
That I may terminate to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain;
For now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In mortiferous pain and endless misery.
All the mean solar day
The sun that lends me smooth
Past frowns do cause me pine
And feeds me with filibuster;
Her smiles, my springs that makes my joys to grow,
Her frowns the Winters of my woe.
All the dark
My sleeps are full of dreams,
My optics are full of streams.
My heart takes no delight
To see the fruits and joys that some do observe
And mark the storms are me assign'd.
Out alas,
My faith is e'er true,
Yet volition she never rue
Nor yield me any grace;
Her eyes of fire, her heart of flint is made,
Whom tears nor truth may once invade.
Gentle Love,
Depict forth thy wounding dart,
Thou canst not pierce her heart;
For I, that do approve
By sighs and tears more hot than are thy shafts
Did tempt while she for triumph laughs.[ii]
