¶Lyrics / Text

My dear mistress had a heart, Soft as those kind looks she gave me, When, with love's resistless art, And her eyes, she did enslave me; But her constancy's so weak, She's so wild and apt to wander, That my jealous heart would break, Should we live one day asunder. Melting joys about her move, Killing pleasures, wounding blisses; She can dress her eyes in love, And her lips can arm with kisses: Angels listen when she speaks, She's my delight and mankind's wonder, But my jealous heart would break, Should we live one day asunder.
