Alfonso Ferrabosco I - I was full near my fall - текст песни (слова)

I was full near my fall and hardly scaped,
 Through fond desire that headlong me transported,
 And with darts, and with nets I sported
 That Love himself for me devised and shaped.
 
 And if my reason but a while had stayed,
 To rule my sense misled and unadvised
 To my mishap I had no doubt assayed,
 What a death is to live by love surprised.
