<L>OH! Why does my true Love &s;o &s;adly di&s;dain</L>
<L>All the Gifts I afford her? Yet &s;ure 'tis in vain</L>
<L>For to offer her any; &s;he's grown &s;o unkind,</L>
<L>That I'm lea&s;t in her Fancy, and le&s;s in her Mind,</L>
<L>Who before was her Darling, yet now &s;he doth turn</L>
<L>Her Affections to Hatred which daily doth burn.</L>
</LG>

<L>Look down, Oh, fair <HI>Venus,</HI> thou Godde&s;s of Love,</L>
<L>And &s;end <HI>Cupid,</HI> that he may the&s;e Arrows remove,</L>
<L>With which I this pre&s;ent am wounded &s;o &s;ore,</L>
<L>For the fear I &s;hall &s;ee dear <HI>Maria</HI> no more:</L>
<L>I'm &s;inking, I'm &s;wooning, I'm fainting away,</L>
<L>For the lo&s;s of <HI>Maria:</HI> Oh! what &s;hall I &s;ay?</L>
<L>Why was I &s;o fooli&s;h to &s;ettle my Love,</L>
<L>Or Affections on any, &s;ince fal&s;ely they prove?</L>
<L>Above all, dear <HI>Maria,</HI> &s;he has prov'd &s;o untrue,</L>
<L>That the Hour of Birth I am forced to rue.</L>
<L>I'm wounded, I'm bleeding, I'm &s;truck to the Heart?</L>
<L>Come, my deare&s;t <HI>Maria,</HI> ea&s;e me of this &s;mart.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh! Where are ye Gods that are wonted to be</L>
<L>Great help unto Mortals? Why help ye not me,</L>
<L>Again&s;t this fierce. fiery, powerful Dart,</L>
<L>Which is &s;hot by fierce <HI>Cupid</HI> into my poor Heart,</L>
<L>Oh! help me! Oh! help me this moment! I cry,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e, for the lo&s;s of <HI>Maria</HI> I dye.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Come here, Oh! thou <HI>Charon,</HI> and make no delay,</L>
<L>And bring here thy Ferry; I am longer can &s;tay:</L>
<L>Make ha&s;te with me over unto the dark Grove</L>
<L>Of <HI>Elizium,</HI> that there I may mourn for my Love?</L>
<L>Come quickly, come quickly, why do&s;t thou delay?</L>
<L>Ev'ry Moment's a Year that I here have to &s;tay.</L>

<L>NO &s;onner had <HI>Willy</HI> thus utter'd his Grief,</L>
<L>But <HI>Maria</HI> &s;he came with a &s;peedy Relief;</L>
<L>Who declar'd that her Deare&s;t &s;hould never complain</L>
<L>For the Lo&s;s of his Love, who wou'd Loyal remain:</L>
<L><HI>I adore thee, &s;aid &s;he, the true Joy of my Heart,</HI></L>
<L><HI>And as long as we live, Love, we never will part.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Tis true, my Relations would have me deny</L>
<L>All the Vows which I made thee, &s;weet <HI>Willy;</HI> for why?</L>
<L>There's a wealthy young 'Squire provided for me,</L>
<L>Who has promis'd to make me a Lady, &s;aid &s;he;</L>
<L><HI>But my Love, and dear</HI> Willy, <HI>thou, thou ha&s;t my Heart,</HI></L>
<L><HI>And as long as we live, Love, we never will part.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My Parents, I tell thee, has been &s;o unkind,</L>
<L>That a Month in my Chamber I have been confin'd;</L>
<L>But &s;o &s;oon as I e'er did my Freedom obtain,</L>
<L>I came running to thee my &s;weet <HI>Willy</HI> again:</L>
<L><HI>Thou art lodg'd in my Brea&s;t, and art Lord of my Heart,</HI></L>
<L><HI>And as long as we live, Love, we never will part.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I value not Riches, true Love I adore,</L>
<L>And I therefore am come all thy Ioyes to re&s;tore;</L>
<L>Let my Friends and Relations all grieve and repine,</L>
<L>Thou &s;halt be my &s;weet Iewel, and I will be thine:</L>
<L><HI>Thou art lodg'd in my Brea&s;t, and art Lord of my Heart,</HI></L>
