  • Only tell her that I love:
      Leave the rest to her and Fate:
    Some kind planet from above
    May perhaps her pity move:
      Lovers on their stars must wait.—
    Only tell her that I love!
    Why, O why should I despair!
      Mercy’s pictured in her eye:
    If she once vouchsafe to hear,
    Welcome Hope and farewell Fear!
      She’s too good to let me die.—
    Why, O why should I despair?
