English text
- I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
- for I am myself my own fever,
- for I am myself my own fever and pain.
- Now more now, no more noww, fond heart, with pride,
- no more swell thou canst not raise forces,
- thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel;
- I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
- for I am myself my own fever,
- for I am myself my own fever and pain.
