Che con le lor bugie pajon diviniA
MAURO D'ARCANOA
-
-
I do confess in many a sighB
My lips have breathed you many a lieB
And who with such delights in viewC
Would lose them for a lie or twoC
-
Nay look not thus with brow reprovingD
Lies are my dear the soul of lovingD
If half we tell the girls were trueC
If half we swear to think and doC
Were aught but lying's bright illusionA
This world would be in strange confusionA
If ladies' eyes were every oneA
As lovers swear a radiant sunA
Astronomy must leave the skiesE
To learn her lore in ladies' eyesE
Oh no believe me lovely girlF
When nature turns your teeth to pearlF
Your neck to snow your eyes to fireG
Your amber locks to golden wireG
Then only then can Heaven decreeH
That you should live for only meH
Or I for you as night and mornA
We've swearing kist and kissing swornA
And now my gentle hints to clearI
For once I'll tell you truth my dearI
Whenever you may chance to meetJ
Some loving youth whose love is sweetJ
Long as you're false and he believes youC
Long as you trust and he deceives youC
So long the blissful bond enduresK
And while he lies his heart is yoursK
But oh you've wholly lost the youthL
The instant that he tells you truthL
