English text
Shoot false love, I care not, spend thy shafts, and spare not.
Fa la la
I fear not I thy might, and less I weigh thy spite,
All naked I unarm me,
if thou canst now shoot and harm me,
So lightly I esteem thee, As now a child I deem thee.
Long thy bow did fear me, while thy pomp did blear me.
Fa la la
But now I do perceive, thy art is to deceive,
and ev'ry simple lover all thy falsehood can discover,
Then weep love, and be sorry For thou hast lost thy glory.
Fa la la
