”Like to the Damask Rose” is a poem either by Francis Quarles called ''"Hos ego versiculos"'',〔(Francis Quarles: ''Hos ego versiculos'' in the Oxford Book of Seventeenth Century Verse )〕 or by Simon Wastell〔Simon Wastell (1560-1635), headmaster of the Free School at Northampton〕 called ''“The flesh profiteth nothing”''.〔Stephen Banfield (''Sensibility and English Song: Critical studies of the early 20th century'') gives the source as "anon. or Francis Quarles, also attrib. Simon Wastell"〕 It was set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1892. The song, together with Through the Long Days, was first performed by Charles Phillips in St. James's Hall on 25 February 1897. It was first published (Tuckwood, Ascherberg) in 1893, and re-published by Boosey in 1907 as one of the ''Seven Lieder of Edward Elgar'', with English and German words. The 'damask rose' (Damascus rose) of the title is the common name of ''Rosa × damascena'', a hybrid rose. ==Lyrics== Elgar made a few changes to the original words. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Like to the Damask Rose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
