If love now reigned

If love now reigned - Capella de la Torre/Katharina Bäuml/Charles Daniels

If love now reign'd as it hath been

And were rewarded as it hath sin'

Noble men then would sure ensearch

All ways whereby they might it reach

But envy reigneth which such disdain

And causeth lovers

Outwardly to refrain

Which puts them to more and more and more

Inwardly most grievous and sore

The fault in whom I cannot set

But let them tell which love doth get

To lovers I put now sure this case

Which of their loves

Doth get them grace
