Cymbeline
Composer(s): Loreena McKennitt - William Shakespeare
Performer(s): Loreena McKennitt



Fear no more the heat o' th' sun
Nor the furious winters' rages
Thou thy worldly task hast done
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages
Golden lads and girls all must
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust

The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust

Fear no more the frown o' th' great
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke
Care no more to clothe and eat
To thee the reed is as the oak
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust

All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust

Fear no more the lightning flash
Nor th' all-dreaded thunder stone
Fear not slander, censure rash
Thou hast finished joy and moan
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come hear thee!
Quiet consummation have
And renowned by thy grave!
