| Fortune, my foe, why dost thou frown on me? | |
| And will thy favors never lighter be? | |
| Wilt thou, | |
| I say, forever breed my pain? | |
| And wilt thou not restore my joys again? | |
| In vain I sigh, in vain | |
| I wail and weep, | |
| In vain my eyes refrain from quiet sleep; | |
| In vain I shed my tears both night and day; | |
| In vain my love my sorrows do bewray. | |
| Then will | |
| I leave my love in | |
| Fortune's hands, | |
| My dearest love, in most unconstant bands, | |
| And only serve the sorrows due to me: | |
| Sorrow, hereafter, thou shalt my | |
| Mistress be. | |
| Ah, silly | |
| Soul art thou so sore afraid? | |
| Mourn not, my dear, nor be not so dismayed. | |
| Fortune cannot, with all her power and skill, | |
| Enforce my heart to think thee any ill. | |
| Live thou in bliss, and banish death to | |
| Hell; All careful thoughts see thou from thee expel: | |
| As thou dost wish, thy love agrees to be. | |
| For proof thereof, behold, | |
| I come to thee. | |
| Die not in fear, not live in discontent; | |
| Be thou not slain where blood was never meant; | |
| Revive again: to faint thou hast no need. | |
| The less afraid, the better thou shalt speed. |
| Fortune, my foe, why dost thou frown on me? | |
| And will thy favors never lighter be? | |
| Wilt thou, | |
| I say, forever breed my pain? | |
| And wilt thou not restore my joys again? | |
| In vain I sigh, in vain | |
| I wail and weep, | |
| In vain my eyes refrain from quiet sleep | |
| In vain I shed my tears both night and day | |
| In vain my love my sorrows do bewray. | |
| Then will | |
| I leave my love in | |
| Fortune' s hands, | |
| My dearest love, in most unconstant bands, | |
| And only serve the sorrows due to me: | |
| Sorrow, hereafter, thou shalt my | |
| Mistress be. | |
| Ah, silly | |
| Soul art thou so sore afraid? | |
| Mourn not, my dear, nor be not so dismayed. | |
| Fortune cannot, with all her power and skill, | |
| Enforce my heart to think thee any ill. | |
| Live thou in bliss, and banish death to | |
