Love Is A Sickness

Love is a sickness full of woes,  
All remedies refusing;  
A plant that with most cutting grows,  
Most barren with best using.  
Why so?  

More we enjoy it, more it dies;  
If not enjoy'd, it sighing cries—  
Heigh 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?  

More we enjoy it, more it dies;  
If not enjoy'd, it sighing cries—  
Heigh ho!
