Original text and translations
English text
- Why so pale and wan, fond lover ?
- Prythee, why so pale ?,
- Will if looking well can't move her
- Looking ill prevail ?
- Prythee, why so pale ?
- Why so dull and mute, young sinner ?
- Prythee, why so mute ?
- Will, when speaking well can't win her
- Saying nothing do't ?
- Prythee, why so mute ?
- Quit, quit for shame !
- This shall not move,
- This can not take her;
- If of herself she will not love
- Nothing will make her
- The devil take her !
- Lyrics: Sir John Suckling - (1609 - 1642)
