Song language: English
If My Complaints Could Passions Move |
If my complaints could passions move |
Or make Love see wherein I suffer wrong: |
My passions were enough to prove |
That my despairs had govern’d me too long |
O Love, I live and die in thee |
Thy grief in my deep sighs still speaks: |
Thy wounds do freshly bleed in me |
My heart for thy unkindness breaks: |
Yet thou dost hope when I despair |
And when I hope, thou mak’st me hope in vain |
Thou say’st thou canst my harms repair |
Yet for redress, thou let’st me still complain |
Can Love be rich, and yet I want? |
Is Love my judge, and yet I am condemn’d? |
Thou plenty hast, yet me dost scant: |
Thou made a God, and yet thy power contemn’d |
That I do live, it is thy power: |
That I desire it is thy worth: |
If Love doth make men’s lives too sour |
Let me not love, nor live henceforth |
Die shall my hopes, but not my faith |
That you that of my fall may hearers be |
May here despair, which truly saith |
I was more true to Love than Love to me |
