about
This devotional song was published in Dowland's Pilgrimes Solace in 1612 (No. XIII). Dowland was probably familiar with William Byrd's five-part setting of the same text found in Psalmes, Sonets, & songs of sadnes and pietie, London, 1588, (no.30), but Dowland chose to set only the first verse with a few minor modifications to the words.
Our recording includes the fifth and final verse from Byrd's setting of the poetry.
lyrics
Or that repentant teares be Angels wine,
Accept O Lord in this most pensiue moode,
These hearty sighes and dolefull plaints of mine.
That went with Peter forth most sinfully,
But not as Peter did, weepe [most] bitterly.
[Thy mercie greater is then any sinne,
thy greatnesse non can ever comprehend:
wherefore O Lord, let mee thy mercie winne,
whose glorious name no time can ever end:
wherefore I say all prayse belongs to thee,
whom I beseech bee mercifull to mee.]
Additional verse from William Byrd, Psalmes, Sonets, & songs of sadnes and pietie (London, 1588), no.30
