English poem
SONG, (Only tell her that I love)
by Anonymous
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, oh, why should I despair? Mercy's pictur'd in her eye: If she once vouchsafe to hear, Welcome Hope, and welcome Fear. She's too good to let me die; Why, oh, why should I despair?
