¶Lyrics / Text

You say, at your feet that I wept in despair, And vow'd that no angel was ever so fair. How could you believe all the nonsense I spoke? What know we of angels; I meant it in joke. I next stand indicted for swearing to love, And nothing but death could my passion remove. I've liked you a twelvemonth, a calendar year, And yet not contented; have conscience my dear.
