Adieu l'Amour
Here end my chains, and thraldom cease;
If not in joy, I'll live at least in peace.
Since for the pleasures of an hour
We must endure an age of pain,
I'll be this abject thing no more:
Love! give me back my heart again.
Despair tormented first my breast,
Now Falsehood, a more cruel guest.
O! for the peace of human-kind,
Make women longer true or sooner kind.
With justice or with mercy reign,
O Love! or give me back my heart again.
If not in joy, I'll live at least in peace.
Since for the pleasures of an hour
We must endure an age of pain,
I'll be this abject thing no more:
Love! give me back my heart again.
Despair tormented first my breast,
Now Falsehood, a more cruel guest.
O! for the peace of human-kind,
Make women longer true or sooner kind.
With justice or with mercy reign,
O Love! or give me back my heart again.
