English text
Now must I die, alas, recureless,
When faith is thus regarded,
and poor Love alas unkindly is thus rewarded.
O grief, alas, O who may abide it?
Hold out, break not heart, O hide it:
O Nature cruel witty,
beauty so to make sans pity.
Farewell, adieu with this your love unfeigned:
I die alas, through your disdain constrain'd.
O grief; beauty and no, no pity.
Farewell, adieu with this your love unfeigned,
I die alas, through your disdain constrained.
