The hope that once so bright did seem Now shines for me no more, now shines for me no more. In joy that didst believe, Nor knew, what many a tale has taught, Love smiles but to deceive, love smiles, love smiles to deceive, love smiles to deceive. And, happy as the day is long, Beguile the hours away, beguile the hours away. In solitude to grieve, And learn, what many a tale has taught, Love smiles but to deceive, love smiles, love smiles to deceive, love smiles to deceive. I neither fear, I neither fear, nor seek to calm.
Revenge is the wounded bosom's balm.
Devilshoof 'Twas entrusted to my care. A drunken galliard who cross'd thy way Became thy prey. Or hereafter I may deplore The storm which I have rais'd. Queen, I obey. Thy miscreant heart could do.
