Musician's or Publisher's Notes
The silver swan, who living had no note,
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat; Leaning her breast against the reedy shore, Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more: "Farewell all joys, O death come close mine eyes; More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise."

The silver swan, who living had no note,
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat;
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more:
"Farewell all joys, O death come close mine eyes;
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise."
