A Musicall Banquet: X. Lady if you so spight me

John Dowland (1563 - 1626): Lady if you so spight me, ayre. Martyn Hill, tenore; Anthony Rooley, liuto; Trevor Jones, viol.

Lady if you so spight me,
Wherfore do you so oft kisse and delight mee?
Sure that my hart opprest and overcloyed,
May breake thus overjoyde,
If you seeke to spill mee,
Come kisse me sweet and kill mee,
So shal your hart be eased,
And I shall rest content and dye well pleased.

Il brano fu pubblicato dal figlio del compositore, Robert (1591 - 1641), nella raccolta A Musicall Banquet (Londra 1610, n. IX).
