O inconstant love; infernal emotion
Be gentle, my sweet demise!
I was too foolhardy to see my destruction
Cloaked in that amiable guise
Behind that smile lies such deceit
That this I was soon to surmise
A heavenly visage veils perdition
That naught in your nature belies
Yet such ardour had I for your embrace
I cared not for what was right
Instead I nurtured my blossoming love
Ignoring the origins blight
But your iniquities were so perversive
My conscience grew less contrite
Until now we two reprobate souls
Are trapped in an eternal plight
So angels on high and demons below
Attest to my fall from grace
As winged Seraphs from paradise
My actions they did lambaste
But there’s no force on heaven nor on earth
Could’ve prevented my laying waste
For what once I imagined Ambrosian love
Converted me to a scapegrace
