Can she excuse my wrongs - John Dowland

Lyrics 1

Can she excuse my wrongs with virtues cloak?

Shall I call her good when she proves unkind?

No no where shadows do, where bodies stand

thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim

Wilt thou be thus abused still,

seeing that she will right thee

never if thou canst not or come her will,

thy love will be thus fruitless ever

Lyrics 2

Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke?

Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find?

Cold love is like two words written on sand,

or two bubbles which on the water swim.

Wilt thou be thus abused still,

seeing that she will right thee

never if thou canst not or come her will,

thy love will be thus fruitless ever
