Cymbeline (Live At CBC Hot Ticket Concert, August 7, 1992)

Well we are going to close off with this evening
It's wonder to be outside
And it's wonderful to be here with you
Many older cultures and indeed some contemporary ones
Muse over the possibility that they stay on these earth maybe

One of many stays
One of many visits and
Shakespeare had his own way of articulating that
As we like to close off with
A poem and a song from the play cymbeline

Fear no more the heat o the 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
All follow this and come to dust
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust

Fear no more the frown o the 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 this and come to dust

Thank you
