1. Who will cure me a heart
That complained of love-sickness and pain?

2. Ask my darling, how many a physician
Skilled but ignorant has tried in vain

3. To understand my malady
Not knowing whence it came!

4. No more can I appease a heart
Exhausted by love's joy and bane.

5. Ask my critic, how many tears
Have failed to wash away the stain

6. Of wrong - how without a heart
That wantons as it will, remain?

7. O witnesses, judge between us -
Me and the tyrant who caused me pain!
