What Do You Make Me Promise?

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Themes LovePeriod 17th century

What do you make me promise? adorable Sylvia,
You command me to love; well then, I am content:
Yes, I shall love all my life;
But if you don’t intend to do as much,
What do you make me promise, adorable Sylvia?

I want to love always, that is all my desire,
I want to live and die in love and content:
Yes, I shall love all my life;
But if you don’t intend to do as much,
What do you make me promise, adorable Sylvia?
