I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain
For I am myself my own fever and pain
No more now, fond heart, with pride no more swell
Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel;
I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain
For I am myself my own fever and pain
For love has more power and less mercy than fate
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 and pain
