Be not more severe than love.

Sorrow then for me must speak.
Laura, fair queen of my delight,<br>
Cruel unkind, with favour view
Come grant me love in love's despite,<br>
The wound that first was made by you,
And if I ever fail to honour thee,<br>
And if my torments ever feigned be,

Sorrow then for me must speak.<br>
The sweet hope which love hath lost.
Cruel unkind, with favour view<br>
Laura, redeem the soul that dies
The wound that first was made by you,<br>
By fury of thy murd'ring eyes,
And if my torments feigned be,<br>
And if it ever proves unkind to thee,

'''1.''' Choć chwilę bez was, troski, chciałbym spędzić.
I tak miłość od was jest mocniejsza.
Piękność zabić może albo oszczędzić,
A słodki jej uśmiech udręki pomniejsza.

Wbrew sobie mnie obdarz swoją miłością.

1  Rest awhile, you cruel cares,
Be not more severe than love.
Beauty kills and beauty spares,
And sweet smiles sad sighs remove.
Laura, fair queen of my delight,
Come grant me love in love's despite,
And if I ever fail to honour thee,
Let this heav'nly light I see
 Be as dark as hell to me.
2  If I speak, my words want weight,
Am I mute, my heart doth break,
If I sigh, she fears deceit,
Sorrow then for me must speak.
Cruel unkind, with favour view
The wound that first was made by you,
And if my torments ever feigned be,
Let this heav'nly light I see
 Be as dark as hell to me.
3  Never hour of pleasing rest
Shall revive my dying ghost,
Till my soul hath repossessed
The sweet hope which love hath lost.
Laura, redeem the soul that dies
By fury of thy murd'ring eyes,
And if it ever proves unkind to thee,
Let this heav'nly light I see
 Be as dark as hell to me.
