Songs and Their Settings: One in Ten

By William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

WAS this fair face, quoth she, the cause

Why the Grecians sacked Troy?

Fond done, done fond, good sooth it was:

Was this King Priam’s joy?

With that she sighed as she stood,

And gave this sentence then:

Among nine bad if one be good,

There’s yet one good in ten.
