¶Liedtext

When first I saw those cruel eyes, Those eyes the authors of my cries, Adoring them for saints divine, Placed in such a heavenly shrine, You told me then to prove me, You would for ever love me. If this be love to scorn my crying, To laugh at me when I lie dying, To kill my heart, with too much grieving, To fly, and yield me no relieving, If love be thus to prove me, O then I know you love me.
