@3In eternum @1 I was once determed For to have loved and my mind affirmed, That with my heart it should be confirmed @3In eternum.@1 Forthwith I founde the thing that I might like, And sought with love to warm her heart alike, For as me thought I should not see the like @3In eternum.@1 To trace this dance I put my self in press; Vain hope did lead and bade I should not cease To serve, to suffer, and still to hold my peace @3In eternum.@1 With this first rule I furthered me apace, That, as methought, my troth had taken place With full assurance to stand in her grace @3In eternum.@1 It was not long or I by proof had found That feeble building is on feeble ground, For in her heart this word did never sound @3In eternum.@1 @3In eternum@1 then from my heart I kest That I had first determined for the best, Now in the place another thought doeth rest, @3In eternum.@1 |
