How Easily Wert Thou Chained Lyrics by Thomas Campion

The Second Booke of Ayres

0

How eas'ly wert thou chained
Fond hart, by fauours fained!
Why liu'd thy hopes in grace
Straight to dye disdained?
But since th' art now beguiled
By Loue that falsely smiled
In some lesse happy place
Mourne alone exiled!
My loue still here increaseth
And with my loue my griefe
While her sweet bounty ceaseth
That gaue my woes reliefe
Yet 'tis no woman leaues mе
For such may proue uniust;
A Goddesse thus dеceiues me
Whose faith who could mistrust?
A Goddesse so much graced
That Paradice is placed
In her most heau'nly brest
Once by loue embraced:
But loue, that so kinde proued
Is now from her remoued
Nor will he longer rest
Where no faith is loued
If Powres Celestiall wound vs
And will not yeeld reliefe
Woe then must needs confound vs
For none can cure our griefe
No wonder if I languish
Through burden of my smart;
It is no common anguish
From Paradice to part
