I attempt from love′s sickness to fly in vain

Since I am myself, my own fever

Since I am myself, my own fever and pain

No more now, no more now

Fond heart, with pride no more swell

Thou canst not raise forces

Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain

Since I am myself, my own fever

Since I am myself, my own fever and pain

For love has more power and less mercy than fate

To make us seek ruin

To make us seek ruin and love those that hate

I attempt from love′s sickness to fly in vain

Since I am myself, my own fever

Since I am myself, my own fever and pain
