Analysis of Song From Count Filippo
Charles Heavysege 1816 (Huddersfield) – 1876
WHO is lord of lordly fate,--
Lady of her lot's estate?
He who rules himself is he,
She who tempts not fate is she.
Who in peril stands of pain?
Who is sure to suffer stain?
He who climbs a thorny tree,
Gathers juicy berries she.
