For the loss of the tribesmen my life o'er sway!'
Their names when named heal all malady;* Cure and chase from heart every pain I dree:
And my longings for love reach so high degree * That my Sprite is maddened each morn I see;And am grown of the crowd to be saw and say.
No blame in them will I e'er espy: * No! nor aught of solace sans them descry:
Your love hath shot me with pine,and I * Bear in heart a flame that shall never die;But fire my liver with fiery ray.
All folk my sickness for marvel score * That in darkest night I wake evermore What ails them to torture this heart forlore * And deem right for loving my blood t' outpour:
And yet--how justly unjust are they!
Would I wot who'twas could obtain of you * To wrong a youth who's so fain of you:
