- | |
My wayward fate I needs must plain | B |
Though bootless be the theme | C |
I loved and was beloved again | D |
Yet all was but a dream | C |
For a her love was quickly got | E |
So it was quickly gone | F |
No more I'll bask in flame so hot | E |
But coldly dwell alone | G |
- | |
Not maid more bright than maid was e'er | H |
My fancy shall beguile | I |
By flattering word or feigned tear | J |
By gesture look or smile | I |
No more I'll call the shaft fair shot | E |
Till it has fairly flown | G |
Nor scorch me at a flame so hot | E |
I'll rather freeze alone | G |
- | |
Each ambush'd Cupid I'll defy | K |
In cheek or chin or brow | L |
And deem the glance of woman's eye | K |
As weak as woman's vow | L |
I'll lightly hold the lady's heart | M |
That is but lightly won | N |
I'll steel my breast to beauty's art | M |
And learn to live alone | G |
- | |
The flaunting torch soon blazes out | O |
The diamond's ray abides | P |
The flame its glory hurls about | O |
The gem its lustre hides | P |
Such gem I fondly deem'd was mine | Q |
And glow'd a diamond stone | G |
But since each eye may see it shine | Q |
I'll darkling dwell alone | G |
- | |
No waking dream shall tinge my thought | R |
With dyes so bright and vain | B |
No silken net so slightly wrought | R |
Shall tangle me again | D |
No more I'll pay so dear for wit | S |
I'll live upon mine own | G |
Nor shall wild passion trouble it | S |
I'll rather dwell alone | G |
- | |
And thus I'll hush my heart to rest | T |
'Thy loving labour's lost | U |
Thou shalt no more be wildly blest | T |
To be so strangely crost | T |
The widow'd turtles mateless die | T |
The phoenix is but one | N |
They seek no loves no more will I | T |
I'll rather dwell alone ' | - |
