English text
- 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.
- Lyrics: Anonymous Elizabethian text.
