They tell us that your mighty powers above Make perfect your joys and your blessings by Love. Ah! Why do you suffer the blessing that's there To give a poor lover such sad torments here?
Yet though for my passion such grief I endure, My love shall like yours still be constant and pure. To suffer for him gives an ease to my pains There's joy in my grief and there's freedom in chains;
If I were divine he could love me no more And I in return my adorer adore O let his dear life the, kind Gods, be your care For I in your blessings have no other share.
