1. Ask me not to change my love, for some loves fully capture the heart
Yet chastisements for loving you should not against me be thought

2. I have a fawn whose beauty my heart holds most dear
His love that my heart cherishes, ever precious

3. So my love for him though dead hopes to be resurrected
If no perverseness from people should come to be

4. For every love of humankind is but borrowed
Yet my love for you within me is true and uncoerced
