Can I forget what Reason’s force Lyrics by Thomas Morley

First Book of Ayres

0

Can I forget what Reason's force
Imprinted in my heart?
Can I unthink these restless thoughts
When first I felt Love's dart?
Shall tongue recall what Thoughts and Love
By Reason once did speak?
No, no, all things save death wants force
That faithful band to break
For now I prove no life to love
Where Fancy breeds content
True love's reward with wise regard
Is never to repent;
It yields delight that feeds the sight
Whilst distance do them part
Such food fеd me when I did see
In mine anothеr heart
Another heart I spied, combin'd
Within my breast so fast
As to a stranger I seem'd strange
But Love forc'd love at last
Yet was I not as then I seem'd
But rather wish to see
If in so full a harbour Love
Might constant lodged be
So Cupid plays oft nowadays
And makes the fool seem fair;
He dims the sight breding delight
Where we seem to despair
So in our heart he makes them sport
And laughs at them that love
Who for their pain gets this again
Their love no liing move
