I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain Since I am myself, my own fever Since I am myself, my own fever and pain No more now, no more now Fond heart, with pride no more swell Thou canst not raise forces Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain Since I am myself, my own fever Since I am myself, my own fever and pain For love has more power and less mercy than fate To make us seek ruin To make us seek ruin and love those that hate I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain Since I am myself, my own fever Since I am myself, my own fever and pain
