Original text and translations
English text
Ah silly Soul how are thy thoughts confounded
betwixt two loves, that far unlikely are?
Lust's love is blind, and by no reason bounded.
Heaven's love is clear, and fair beyond compare.
No wonder though this love light not thy mind,
whilst looking through false love thine eyes are blind.
