English text
If I urge my kind desires,
She unkind doth them reject,
Women’s hearts are painted fires
To deceive them that affect,
I alone love’s fires include,
She alone doth them delude.
She hath often vow’d her love,
But alas no fruit I find,
That her fires are false I prove,
Yet in her no fault I find,
I was thus unhappy born,
And ordain’d to be her scorn.
Yet if human care, or pain
May the heav’nly order change,
She will hate her own disdain,
And repent she was so strange,
For a truer heart than I,
Never liv’d or lov’d to die.
