Love Is A Sickness Full of Woes

Love is a sickness full of woes,
 All remedies refusing;
A plant that with most cutting grows,
 Most barren with best using.
 Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies;
If not enjoyed, it sighting cries,
 Heigh ho!

Love is a torment of the mind,
 A tempest everlasting;
And Jove hath made it of a kind
 Not well, not full, nor fasting.
 Why so?
More we enjoy it, more it dies;
If not enjoyed, it sighing cries,
 Heigh ho!
