English text

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
for I am myself my own fever,
for I am myself my own fever and pain.

No more now, no more now, fond heart, with pride,
no more swell thou canst not raise forces,
thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel;

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
for I am myself my own fever,
for I am myself my own fever and pain.
