Lyrics

And think ye nymphs to scorn at love?
As if his fire were but of straws
He made the mighty gods above
To stoop and bow unto his laws
And with his shafts of beauty bright
He slays the hearts that scorn his might
Love is a fit of pleasure
Bred out of idle brains
His fancies have no measure
No more than have his pains
His vain affections like the weather
Precise or fond, we wot not whether
Written by: William Byrd
