¶Lyrics / Text

Love wing'd my Hopes and taught them how to fly Far from base earth, but not to mount too high: For true pleasure Lives in measure, Which if men forsake, Blinded they into folly run and grief for pleasure take. But my vain Hopes, proud of their new-taught flight, Enamour'd sought to woo the sun's fair light, Whose rich brightness Moved their lightness To aspire so high That all scorch'd and consumed with fire now drown'd in woe they lie. And none but Love their woeful hap doth rue, For Love doth know that their desires were true; Though fate frownèd, And now drownèd They in sorrow dwell, It was the purest light of heav'n for whose fair love they fell.
