The Course Of True Love

from A Midsummer Night's Dream by SkyVault

/

lyrics

The course of true love
Never did run smooth
Oh spite to old
To be engaged to young.
Oh Hell, to choose love by another's eye

Swift as the shadow
Short as any dream
Brief as the lighting
Suddenly seen
The jaws of darkness devour it up

If then true lovers have been crossed
Oh cross to high to be enthralled to low
As due to love as thoughts and sighs
Wishes and tears and goodbyes

Helena:
How happy some o'er other some can be!
Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.
But what of that? Dominic thinks not so;
He will not know what all but he do know.
And as he errs, doting on Mia's eyes,
So I err, admiring his qualities.
Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste;
Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
And therefore is Love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
For ere Dominic looked on Mia's eye,
He hailed down oaths that he was only mine;
And when this hail some heat from Mia felt,
So he dissolved, and show'rs of oaths did melt.
I will go tell him of fair Mia's flight.
And then to the woods will he tomorrow night
Pursue her; and for this intelligence
If I have thanks, it is a dear expense.
But herein mean I to enrich my pain,
To have his sight thither and back again.

If then true lovers had been crossed
True love did never run smooth
