Original text and translations

English text

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

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