Fancy
Norman Mathews
voice, piano

Secular


$3.50 for two copies

Notes:

Fancy is taken from Act III, Scene II of The Merchant of Venice. This extremely simple, but spirited setting should be within the command of most singers and pianists.

Text:

Tell me, where, is fancy bred,
Or in the heart, or in the head?
How begot, how nourishèd?
Reply, reply.
It is engender’d in the eyes,
With grazing fed; and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies:
Let us all ring fancy’s knell;
I’ll begin it,—Ding, dong, bell,
Ding, dong, bell.

William Shakespeare
