English.png English text

O sweet, alas, what say you?
Ay me, that face discloses.
The Scarlet blush of sweet vermilion Roses,
and yet alas,
I know not if such a crimson staining
be for love or disdaining.
But if of love it grow not,
be it disdain conceived,
to see us of love's fruits so long bereaved.
