For, in love and adulation,
I hold in you with adoration.
And your eyes hold thy heart,
But feel fate tells you never part,
With any other, even the one that's her.
That love shall never be as it were.
For, whence I found thee, twas a night in the faire,
Filth from me a' taken and replaced by love's air.
Though our love holds complications,
Of our our other facaded relations,
Leave I shall if leave you do,
And for eternal light and even darkness hod true,
Ever after for love twas only ever for you.
