William Byrd
1543 - 1623 / England
What is Life, or Worldly Pleasure
LIKE THIS POEM
What is life, or worldly pleasure?
What is wealth or golden treasure?
What is grace or Princes smiling?
What are all in one combinde,
which divided so displease?
Apish toyes, and vaine delights,
mindes unrest, and soules disease.
