Thus Love commands that I in vain complain me
And Sorrow will that she shall still disdain me:
Yet did I hope, which hope my life prolonged
To hear her say, Alas his Love was wronged.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Wilbye (1574 - 1638), "Thus Love commands", published 1598 [  vocal quintet ], madrigal
