Let Folly Praise That Fancy Loves
Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-1595 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Tune Title: A PURPLE ROBE Lyrics: 1 Let folly praise that fancy loves;
I praise and love that child
whose heart no thought, whose tongue no word,
whose hand no deed defiled.
I praise him most, I love him best;
all praise and love are his.
While him I love, in him I live,
and cannot live amiss.
2 Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest theme,
our most desired light.
To love him life, to leave him death,
to live in him delight.
He mine by gift, I his by debt,
thus each to other due:
first friend he was, best friend he is;
all times will find him true.
3 Though young, yet wise, though small, yet strong,
though man, yet God he is;
as wise he knows, as strong he can,
as God he loves to bless.
His knowledge rules, his strength defends,
his love doth cherish all;
his birth our joy, his life our light,
his death our end of thrall. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Scripture: Isaiah 49:1-7 Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE

Robert Southwell
1561 - 1595 Person Name: Robert Southwell, 1561-1595 Tune Title: A PURPLE ROBE Hymnal Number: 152 Author of "Let Folly Praise That Fancy Loves" in Common Praise (1998) Southwell, Robert, was b. at Horsham St. Faith, Norfolk, about 1561, educated at Paris and at Rome, and entered the Society of Jesus at Rome, Oct. 17, 1578. He spent part of his noviciate at Tournai in Belgium, but returned to Rome and completed his studies there. After being ordained priest in 1584, he returned to England in 1586. He was arrested in 1592 on the charge of high treason, committed to the Tower of London, formally tried at Westminster, Feb. 21, 1594-5, and executed the next day at Tyburn.
His Poetical Works were collected in 1856 by W. B. Turnbull, and re-edited in 1872 more completely and more carefully by Dr. A. B. Grosart, from the Add. manuscript 10422 in the British Museum, from a manuscript, perhaps autograph, at Stonyhurst College, Lanes., and from the printed editions of the individual works. One of his carols is noted at p. 210, ii., one of his translations at p. 663, ii., three additional are in the Arundel Hymns, 1902. They are all in Grosart's edition and are here cited as they are found in the Add. 10422, the spelling being preserved:—
1. As I in hoarie winters nyght. [Christmas]. At f. 10 b. This is the admirable poem entitled "The Burning Babe."
2. Behoulde a seelie tender Babe. [Christmas.] At f. 11. See p. 210, ii.
3. In Paschall fest, ye ende of auntient rite. [Holy Communion.] At f. 17 b.
4. Let folly prayse that phaney loues. [Christmas.] At f. 9. The Arundel reads "what fancy loves."
5. Prayse, 0 Syon, prayse, prayse thy Saviour. At f. 16. From the "Lauda Sion," p. 663, ii.
