What destiny of mine what fraud or force | C |
Unarm'd again conducts me to the field | D |
Where never came I but with shame to yield | D |
'Scape I or fall which better is or worse | E |
Not worse but better from so sweet a source | C |
Shine in my heart those lights so bright reveal'd | D |
The fatal fire e'en now as then which seal'd | D |
My doom though twenty years have roll'd their course | C |
I feel death's messengers when those dear eyes | F |
Dazzling me from afar I see appear | G |
And if on me they turn as she draw near | G |
Love with such sweetness tempts me then and tries | F |
Tell it I cannot nor recall in sooth | H |
For wit and language fail to reach the truth | H |
