Lyrics
1. Whoever thinks or hopes of love for love. Or who belov'd in Cupid's lawes doth glory. Who joys in vows, or vows not to remove. Who by this light god has not been made sorry. Let him see me eclipsed from my sun, with dark clouds of an earth, with dark clouds of an earth quite overrun. (Repeat last line) 2. Who thinks that sorrows felt, or desires hidden, Or humble faith in constant honor armed, Can keep love from the fruit that is forbidden, Thinks that chamge is by intreaty charmed, Looking on me let him know loves delights are treasures hid in caves, Are treasures hid in caves, But kept by sprights. (Repeat last line, Soprano sings, "But kept by me.")
