Purcell I Attempt From Love's Sickness

I attempt from Love's Sickness to fly in vain,
For I am myself my own fever
For I am myself my own fever and pain.
No more now, no more now
Fond Heart, with pride no more swell.
Thou Canst not raise forces,
Thou cants not raise forces
Enough to rebel.
I attempt love's sickness to fly in vain,
for i am myself my own fever
for i am myself my own fever and pain.
For love has more power and less mercy than fate,
to make us see ruin,
to make us see ruin,
and love those to hate.
I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
for i am myself my own fever,
for i am myself my own fever and pain.

my choirs doing this song... we all hated it.. but now we got it downn

[LookAwaaay]

The lyrics must be:

I attempt from Love's sickness to fly in vain,

Since I am myself my own fever and pain.

No more now, fond heart, with pride no more swell,

Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel.

I attempt from Love's sickness ...

For Love has more pow'r and less mercy than fate

To make us seek ruin and love those that hate.

I attempt from Love's sickness ...

Not to be nagging, but the lyrics have some bugs in it (I'm only mentioning this because it makes a difference.) A lovely recording, thanks for sharing -- and good luck for your paper, @KatieLingleMusic !

I don't blame you, the words are also wrong in some librettos on the web.
