[00:00.00]To Althea from Prison (Manor Studio Version) - Fairport Convention/David Rea
[00:02.78]Written by：Dave Swarbrick/Richard Lovelace
[00:05.57]When love with unconfined wings
[00:09.40]
[00:10.18]Hovers within my gates
[00:12.40]
[00:13.80]And my divine Althea brings to whisper at my grates
[00:19.75]
[00:21.72]When I lie tangled in her hair
[00:25.23]And fettered with her eye
[00:27.90]
[00:29.72]The birds that wanton in the air know no such liberty
[00:34.93]
[00:39.66]When flowing cups run swiftly round
[00:43.42]With no allaying Thames
[00:46.05]
[00:47.31]Our careless heads with roses crowned
[00:51.38]Our hearts with royal flames
[00:53.76]
[00:55.66]When first decreeth in wine we steep
[00:59.34]When healths and rafts run free
[01:02.47]
[01:04.01]Fishes that tipple in the deep know no such liberty
[01:09.46]
[01:12.12]When it's if like commit finnI
[01:15.92]With shriller throat shall sing
[01:18.35]
[01:20.28]The mercy sweetness majesty
[01:23.80]And glories of my king
[01:27.05]
[01:28.77]When I shall joys aloud how good
[01:32.51]He is how great should be
[01:35.30]
[01:37.05]Enlarged winds that curl the flood
[01:40.86]Know no such liberty
[01:42.78]
[01:47.64]Stone walls do not a prison make not iron bars a cage
[01:53.98]
[01:55.67]Minds innocent and quiet take that for a Hermitage
[02:01.04]
[02:03.99]And if I have freedom in my love
[02:07.68]And in my soul am free
[02:11.10]
[02:12.81]Angels alone that soar above enjoy such liberty
