O, never shall I forsake you, my love br Lay burdens of this folly by your side br For I am blessed with you by God above br As I live, in my heart you shall abide. br No fool am I to give my treasure for br A promise of good oil that might be mud br Or gold that time reveals is really copper br Or flowers that in season never bud. br No fool am I to give my well for drains br That only gives a drink when showers fall br When by merit you don’t depend on rains: br Whenever in need, your love’s wherewithal br Refreshes with the wonders of a woman. br My love delights in my satisfaction. br I am a blessed man.
