GENTLE LADY, HEAR MY VOW.
Gentle lady, hear my vow,
Hear my vow, nor bid me part,
With the charms I gaze on now
Love might tame the wildest heart.
Doubt not I will true remain,
Doubt not what those eyes inspire—
Vulcan forged the strongest chain
When Venus gave the fire!
Hear my vow, nor bid me part,
With the charms I gaze on now
Love might tame the wildest heart.
Doubt not I will true remain,
Doubt not what those eyes inspire—
Vulcan forged the strongest chain
When Venus gave the fire!
167
Blame me not if vows I break,
Vows that I have made before;
Thine the power my faith to shake,
Yet to make me still adore!
As mountain streams their brightness pour
In tribute to the sovereign sea,
So the loves I've known before,
All are lost in thee!
Vows that I have made before;
Thine the power my faith to shake,
Yet to make me still adore!
As mountain streams their brightness pour
In tribute to the sovereign sea,
So the loves I've known before,
All are lost in thee!
