It's Not Right
- Though my lady makes me suffer,
- of her I'll never speak a bitter
- word – it's not right: I've chosen
- this pain. But I will curse Love,
- for building up a passion
- that she treats with scorn .
- And I'll never cast my lady
- in harsh terms, despite the hurt
- she causes, and the sleep I lose,
- but I reserve scorn for Love,
- for building up a passion
- that she treats with scorn.
- No matter how I suffer,
- I have no reason to complain
- about my lady – but in my heart,
- I say: I loathe Love,
- for building up a passion
- that she treats with scorn.
