Tyrant Love

Where e'er Love be,

Tyrant he,

Without merci;

Plead as thou may,

Ah me!

He ne'er thy tears will see,

Ah me! Ah me!

Light wings hath he

As any bee

Let not him free,

For he alone,

Ah me!

He alone

Can rule the kingdom he

Hath won,

Ah me!

Where e'er Love be,

Tyrant he,

Without merci,

But hold him close, ma mie,

As bishop to his see,

For me, for me!
