Canticle
by R Vaughan Williams
Let us now praise famous men
and our fathers that begat us
such as did bear rule
in their kingdoms
men renowned for their power
leaders of the people
by their counsel
and by their knowledge
such as found out
musical tunes and
recited verses in writing
All these were honoured
in their generation
and for the glory of our times
but some there be
which have no memorial
who have perished as though
they have never been
Their bodies are
buried in peace
but their name liveth
for evermore.
please let me know where the errors have crept in…..
errors: reknowned =renowned (spelling mistake)
council= counsel (wrong meaning)
musical tune should be musical tunes
forever more should be for evermore
thank you celia. i have made the corrections.
