<L>As has reported been by you?</L>
<L>'tis faul&s;e, pray don't revile:</L>
<L>In one you &s;eem to flatter me,</L>
<L>Then charge me with much cruelty,</L>
<L>where is your love the while.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>You tell me that you loved long.</L>
<L>And through me have received wrong</L>
<L>pray is this fal&s;e or true?</L>
<L>When did the darts of my disdain,</L>
<L>Give any rea&s;on to complain?</L>
<L>I will be judg'd by you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When fir&s;t to me you did make Suit,</L>
<L>If then I held you in di&s;pute,</L>
<L>was this di&s;loyalty?</L>
<L>I mu&s;t confe&s;s it would be brave,</L>

<L>But if thy Heart &s;o Loyal be,</L>
<L>As not to fancy none but me,</L>
<L>in all the world be&s;ide:</L>
<L>Then I will willingly comply,</L>
<L>In loyal Love to live and dye</L>
<L>whatever may betide.</L>

<L>And prize the more then all the Gold,</L>
<L>on the rich <HI>Indian</HI> Shore.</L>
</LG>

<L>The moan you made my heart did move,</L>
<L>Thou &s;halt not wander from thy Love,</L>
<L>whom you &s;o much adore:</L>
<L>And therefore now no more repine,</L>
<L>Take Hand and Heart, I will be thine,</L>
