O Love, O Love, they wrong thee much
That say thy sweet is bitter, bitter.
When thy rich fruit is such,
As nothing can be sweeter,
Sweeter, Fair house of joy and bliss;
Where truest pleasure is, I do adore,
I do adore, I do adore thee, I do adore thee;
I know thee what thou art,
I serve thee with my heart,
And fall before thee, and fall before thee
and fall before thee; I know thee,
I serve thee, and fall before thee.
I know thee, I serve thee, and fall before thee,
and fall before thee.
