Pentamic Iambeter

A setting of John Donne’s “Song”, which begins “Goe and catch a falling starre, get with child a mandrake root, tell me where all past yeares are, or who cleft the Divels foot”. A series of unlikely or impossible events, ending with the search for a person true and fair. Language made inclusive by the trading of “he’s” and “she’s” by the men and women at the end.
