about this song
In Shakespeare's play Cymbeline (1608 or 1609), a "song" is sung by two boys meanwhile they bury Imogen's body. Loreena McKennitt has kept most of the song in her wonderful and inspiring adaptation. Fear no more the heat o' th' sun Nor the furious winter's rages; Though thy worldly task hast done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages. Golden lads and girls all must, As chimney-sweepers, come to dust. Fear no more the frown o' th' great; Thou art past the tyrant's stroke.
