My dearest, my fairest, I languish for you. Thy kindness has won me, Thy charm has undone me, I ne'er, no, ne'er shall be free. I faint with the pleasure I fain would repeat, Ah why are love's raptures so short and so sweet, Thus pressing and kissing, fresh joys we'll pursue And ever be happy and ever be true. But alas, should you change Ah, tell me not so No never my fairest No, no, my dearest (my fairest) no, no.
