My complaining is but feigning

My complaining

Is but feigning;

All my love is but in jest.

Fa-la-la-la

And my courting

Is but sporting

In most showing meaning least.

Fa-la-la-la

Outward sadness

Inward gladness

Representeth in my mind.

Fa-la-la-la

In most feigning

Most obtaining

Such good faith in love I find.

Fa-la-la-la

Towards ladies

This my trade is —

Two minds in one breast I wear.

Fa-la-la-la

And my measure

At my pleasure

Ice and flame my face doth bear.

Fa-la-la-la
