O let us howl, some heavy note
Some deadly-dogged howl
Sounding as from the threat'ning throat
Of beasts and fatal fowl
As ravens, screech-owls, bulls, and bears
We'll bill and bawl our parts
Till irksome noise have cloyed your ears
And corrosived your hearts
At last when as our choir wants breath
Our bodies being bless'd
We'll sing like Swans, to welcome death
And die in love and rest
O let us howl some heavy note was written by Robert Johnson (17th century) & John Webster.
