Original text and translations
English text
- All ye, whom Love or Fortune hath betrayed
- All ye, that dream of bliss but live in grief
- All ye, whose hopes are evermore delay'd
- All ye, whose sighs or sickness wants relief
- Lend ears and tears to me, most hapless man
- That sings my sorrows like the dying swan.
- Care that consumes the heart with inward pain.
- Pain that presents sad care in outward view.
- Both tyrant-like enforce me to complain:
- But still in vain: for none my plaints will rue.
- Tears, sighs and ceaseless cries alone I spend:
- My woe wants comfort, and my sorrow end.
