But love is past belief, O.

'Nights, nights I've lain your lands to see,

Forlorn and still—and all for me,

All for a foolish curse, O;

Now here am I

Come out to die,

To live unlov'd is worse, O!'

In faith, this lord, in that lone dale,

Hears now a sweeter nightingale,

And lairs a tend'rer deer, O;
