XVI. Fie on this feigning - The Consort Of Musicke/Anthony Rooley

Written by：John Dowland

Fie on this feigning

Is love without desire

Heat still remaining

And yet no spark of fire

Thou art untrue nor wert with fancy movèd

For Desire hath pow'r on all that ever lovèd

Thou art untrue nor wert with fancy movèd

For Desire hath pow'r on all that ever lovèd

Show some relenting

Or grant thou dost now love

Two hearts consenting

Shall they no comforts prove

Yield or confess that love is without pleasure

And that women's bounties rob men of their treasure

Yield or confess that love is without pleasure

And that women's bounties rob men of their treasure

Truth is not placèd

In words and forcèd smiles

Love is not gracèd

With that which still beguiles

Love or dislike yield fire or give no fuel

So may'st thou prove kind or at the least less cruel

Love or dislike yield fire or give no fuel

So may'st thou prove kind or at the least less cruel
