I can die with her, but not live without her;

One tender sigh of hers to see me languish,

Will more than pay the price of my past anguish:

Beware, O cruel fair, how you smile on me,

'Twas a kind look of yours, that has undone me.

Love has in store for me one happy minute,

And she will end my pain, who did begin it;

Then no day void of bliss, of pleasure, leaving,

Ages shall slide away without perceiving:

Cupid shall guard the door, the more to please us,
