My God, my God, I do now listless roam:
An haughty mistress did I take;
She bids me now to come.
My tomb I make:
Deep-hewn, inlaid with woes.
At my long task I am a fake:
Too quick did I on me a mate impose:
With love I cannot serve her well;
Her beauty is too high.
My loves, farewell!
My fright has left you lone.
I cannot now my duty quell,
Nor it fulfill with loathsome heart of stone.
