NERINA.
So swiftly, 'tis in vain to follow him.
I will pursue my way; and it may be
Better perhaps that I do hold my peace,
And tell not poor Montano.
So swiftly, 'tis in vain to follow him.
I will pursue my way; and it may be
Better perhaps that I do hold my peace,
And tell not poor Montano.
CHORUS.
There is no need of death
To bind a great heart fast:
Faith is enough at first, and Love at last.
Nor does a fond desert
Pursue so hard a fame
In following its sweet aim;
Since Love is paid with its own loving heart.
And oftentimes, ere it work out its story,
It finds itself clasp glory.
There is no need of death
To bind a great heart fast:
Faith is enough at first, and Love at last.
Nor does a fond desert
Pursue so hard a fame
In following its sweet aim;
Since Love is paid with its own loving heart.
And oftentimes, ere it work out its story,
It finds itself clasp glory.
