[Chorus] Twenty lovesick maidens we,
Lovesick all against our will.
Twenty years hence we shall be
Twenty lovesick maidens still.

Twenty lovesick maidens we,
And we die for love of thee!
Twenty lovesick maidens we,
Lovesick all against our will.
Twenty years hence we shall be
Twenty lovesick maidens still.

[Angela] Love feeds on hope, they say,
Or love will die:

[Chorus] Ah, miserie!

[Angela] Yet my love lives,
Although no hope have I!

[Chorus] Ah, miserie!

[Angela] Alas, poor heart,
Go hide thyself away,
To weeping concords
Tune thy roundelay!
Ah, miserie!

[Chorus] All our love is all for one,
Yet that love he heedeth not,
He is coy and cares for none,
Sad and sorry is our lot!
Ah, miserie!

[Ella] Go, breaking heart,
Go, dream of love requited;
Go, foolish heart,
Go, dream of lovers plighted;
Go, madcap heart,
Go, dream of never waking;
And in thy dream
Forget that thou art breaking!

[Chorus] Ah, miserie!

[Ella] Forget that thou art breaking!

[Chorus] Twenty lovesick maidens we,
Lovesick all against our will.
Twenty years hence we shall be
Twenty lovesick maidens still.
Ah, miserie!
