English text

Love is a sickness full of woes,

All remedies refusing;

A plant that [ with most ]1 cutting grows,

Most barren with best using,

Why so?

More we enjoy it, more it dies;

If not enjoy'd it sighing cries

Heigh ho! Heigh ho!

Love is a torment of the mind,

A tempest everlasting;

And Jove hath made [ of it ]2 a kind

Not well, nor full, nor fasting.

Why so?

Lyrics: by Samuel Daniel (1562-1619).
