Witness ye heav'ns, I vow to love the fairest,  
Witness ye heav'ns, I vow to love the fairest,
To love, but how? For virtue, not for lust.  
To love, but how? For virtue, not for lust.
Why? Because she is the rarest.  
Why? Because she is the rarest.
Come life, come death, in her I only trust;
Come life, come death, in her I only trust;
Hap death, hap life, I force not which betide me,  
Hap death, hap life, I force not which betide me,
By her I live, from death I cannot hide me.
By her I live, from death I cannot hide me.}}

Witness ye heav'ns, I vow to love the fairest,
To love, but how? For virtue, not for lust.

Hap death, hap life, I force not which betide me,
By her I live, from death I cannot hide me.
