Lyrics
Fear no more the heat of the sun
Nor the furious winter's rages
Thou thy worly task has done
Home art gone and taken thy wages
Golden lads and girls all must
As chimney sweepers come to dust
Fear no more the frown of 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 thee and come to dust
Fear no more the lightning flash
Nor the 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 exorcisor harm thee
Nor no witchcraft find thee
Ghost unlaid forbear thee
Nothing ill come near thee
Quiet consumation have
And renouned be thy grave
