Fair And 'Guiling Copesmate Death lyrics

Gaunt and gnarl'd Reflecteth the silver shield this welkin aghast And with haste translateth to gild'd black post and fast Anon, anon, say I, the lid, the lid aside Crawl without this velvet-clad coffin blest The bottom sand of the hourglass is at tide 'Tis and hath e'er been merry blood to pest To be adust for time longer can I not bide Hence the heart hale out thro' the chest Misery thee? Rather misery me For in Time's durance am I naught but wee Sensing thispine is as deep as the deepest chasm Hither! Cede and fulfil my phantasm Cherish me and sonorously do me laud For dread! Thine eyes will behold a guise faugh'd This tender and loving pest I to thee bequeath Thence switly wilt thou errant to 'Neath And to me should'st thou be the humblemost knave Lest fear, spit I on thy cist and grave Lest leer I at thee and do bewitch And the tharms fluttering claw'd and eldritch To conquer thee and thy blood for glore Art thou my afeard and reluctant whore Irksomely coy, save wiliéd by alarum Bear this torture and maim with decorum One candle left to burn now, before the darkness comes If e'er always was I this blissful and blithe Would I resign to but its wee tithe? Purvey my ache and quench my profoundest urge And to thee will I sing the lull-dull dirge Deliver thy blood like the rill filleth the ghyll Burrow to the trothplight with Night and Devil Bid Him to league with me, forsooth, merry to 'come 'twill Whilom wast thou vestal, yet now flit to thy tryst Elsewise will I coerce thine consonantry to turn whist Grasp I the snath and cut off thine breath So that thou canst in darkness and inferno vester For do I solely what He to me liefly saith Death, oh, fair and 'guiling copesmate Death Be not a malais'd beggar, claim this bloody jester Claim this bloody jester
