¶Lyrics / Text

Since first I saw your face I resolv’d To honour and renown you; If now I be disdain’d I wish My heart had never known you. What I that loved and you that liked, Shall we begin to wrangle? No, no, no! my heart is fast And cannot disentangle. The Sun, whose beams most glorious are, Rejecteth no beholder, And your sweet beauty past compare, Made my poor eyes the bolder: Where beauty moves and wit delights, And signs of kindness bind me, There, oh there! Where e’er I go I leave my heart behind me. If I desire or praise you too much, That fault you may forgive me; Or if my hands had strayed but a touch, Then justly might you leave me. I asked you leave, you bade me love; Is now the time to chide me? No, no, no! I'll love you still, What fortune e’er betide me.
