The Singers' Companion ("Farewell! but whenever you welcome the hour", etc.)/Should he upbraid
SHOULD HE UPBRAID.
Music by Bishop. Sung by Miss Stephens, Miss M. Tree, and Miss Paton.
Should he upbraid, I'll own that he'd prevail,
And sing as sweetly as the nightingale;
Say that he frown, I'll say his looks I view
As mornin roses newly tipped with dew;
Say he be mute, I'll answer with a smile,
And dance, and play, and wrinkled care beguile.
