...
Love is a fit of pleasure,
bred out of Idle braines,
his fancies have no measure,
no more than have his paines,
his vaine affections like the weather,
precise or fond, we wot not whether.
Composition:
- Set to music by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Love is a fit of pleasure", published 1589, stanza 2 [ SSATTB chorus a cappella ], from Songs of sundrie natures, no. 43
