Break Now, My Heart, and Die

Break now my heart and die

O no, O no, she may relent

Let my despair prevail

O stay, O stay, hope is not spent

Should she now fix one smile on thee

Where were despair?

Thy loss is but easy

Which smiles can repair

A stranger would please thee

If she were as fair

Her must I love or none

So sweet, so sweet, none pleases she

The more is my despair

Alas, alas, she loves not me

But cannot time make way for love

Through ribs of steel?

The Grecian enchanted

Or parts but the heel

At last the shaft daunted

Which his heart did feel
