Performed by
John WilbyeO wretched man! Lyrics
O wretched man, why lov'st thou earthly life
Which nought enjoys but cares and endless trouble?
What pleasure here but breeds a world of grief?
What hour's ease that anguish doth not double?
No earthly joys but have their discontents
Then loathe that life which causeth such laments
O wretched man! Q&A
Who wrote O wretched man!'s ?
O wretched man! was written by John Wilbye.
