English text

O heart of mine, O heart of mine,
Say whence this rapture all divine,
These blissful thoughts which round thee twine;
O heart of mine, O heart of mine!
Can it be that, through thy armour,
Cupid’s shafts have pierced away?
Is this ecstacy the glamour
Of his thraldom? prythee say.
O heart of mine, O heart of mine,
Thence comes thy rapture so divine,
The blissful thoughts which round thee twine,
O heart of mine, O heart of mine!
O maiden mine, O maiden mine,
I fondly worship at thy shrine;
My hands, my heart, my all are thine,

O maiden mine, O maiden mine!
Hear me plead my passion tender,
Turn not from me in disdain,
Take the heart which I surrender,
Let me not entreat in vain.
O maiden mine, O maiden mine,
So shall I worship at thy shrine,
So shall my hands, my heart be thine,
O maiden mine, O maiden mine!
