Fear no more the heat o’ the sun
Nor the furious winters’ rages ;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

Fear no more the frown o’ th’ great;
Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak.
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.

All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor th’ all-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan.
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust

 

these words were taken from Shakespeare ’s play Cymbeline

and here is the original text of the;

Act IV.

SONG

GUIDERIUS 
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

ARVIRAGUS 
Fear no more the frown o’ the great;
Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke;
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.

GUIDERIUS 
Fear no more the lightning flash,

ARVIRAGUS 
Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;

GUIDERIUS 
Fear not slander, censure rash;

ARVIRAGUS 
Thou hast finish’d joy and moan:

GUIDERIUS ARVIRAGUS 
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.
