In all my soul there's not one place
To let a rival enter:
Since she excels in every grace,
In her my love *hall center:
Sooner the seas shall cease to flow,
Their waves the Alps shall cover,
On Greenland ice shall roses grow,
Before I cease to love her.
The next time I gang' o'er the mo"or,
She shall a lover find me;
And that my faith is firm and pure,
Tho' I left her behind me:
Then Hymen's sacred bonds shall chain
My heart to her fair bosom?
There, while my being does remain,
My love more, fresh shall blossom.
