What if I never speed?
Shall I straight yield to despair
And stay on sorrow's feed
That can no loss prepare?
Or shall I change my love?
For I find power to depart
And in my reason prove
I can command my heart
But if she will pity my desire
And my love requite
Then ever shall she live
My dear delight
Come, come, come
While I have a heart to desire thee
Come, come, come
For either I will love or admire thee
Oft have I dreamt of joy
Yet I ne'er felt the sweet
Attired with annoy
My great siege I'll egrate
Oft have I left my hope
As a wretch my fate forlorn
But love is at once hope
And lost will still return
He that once loves with a true desire
Never can depart
For Cupid is the king of every heart
Come, come, come
While I have a heart to desire thee
Come, come, come
For either I will love or admire thee
