<L>When fir&s;t the&s;e Eyes of mine did view him,</L>
<L>O how my heart was inflam'd to love,</L>
<L>I lo&s;t my &s;en&s;es ever &s;ince I know him,</L>
<L>&s;ince he to me does uncon&s;tant prove:</L>
<L>Love, that tran&s;ports me &s;o in &s;adne&s;s,</L>
<L>makes me langui&s;h and complain,</L>
<L>O cruel <HI>Cupid,</HI> come and ea&s;e my madne&s;s,</L>

<L>Farewel joy, and farewel plea&s;ure,</L>
<L>farewel all things of delight,</L>

<L>unto all I bid good-night;</L>
<L>Farewel to him, the cau&s;e of all my weeping,</L>
<L>I hope he will never thrive in love,</L>

<L>Thus &s;hall my bleeding wrongs be righted,</L>
<L>while I range the &s;ilent &s;hade,</L>
<L>And my ungrateful love be requited,</L>
<L>who my yielding heart betray'd:</L>
<L>Long was I woo'd before I con&s;ented</L>
<L>unto the thoughts of love, &s;aid &s;he,</L>
<L>Till he in &s;orrowful &s;ights lamented,</L>
<L>blaming me for my cruelty.</L>

<L>Now when I heard this mournful ditty,</L>
<L>whi<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">e in &s;ighs he did complain,</L>
<L>I was immediately mov'd to pitty,</L>
<L>granting love for love again:</L>
<L>But I have found him now mo&s;t deceitful,</L>
<L>I of his pre&s;ence am deny'd,</L>
<L>Never was lover &s;ure &s;o ungrateful,</L>
<L>as he has been to me, &s;he cry'd.</L>

<L>Did he not once admire my beauty,</L>
<L>and did &s;olemly declare,</L>
<L>That he did count it a dam&s;els duty,</L>
<L>to be full as kind as fair:</L>
<L>Then in his arms be'd freely receive me,</L>
<L>&s;aying, he did my Charms adore:</L>
<L>Yet after all he does &s;light and leave me,</L>
<L>was ever man &s;o fal&s;e before?</L>

<HEAD>VIII.</HEAD>
<L>He little knows what bitter angui&s;h,</L>
<L>does my drooping &s;pirits &s;eize,</L>
<L>Here in this bower I lye and langui&s;h,</L>
<L>&s;hall I never be at ea&s;e?</L>
<L>Yes, when I in the grave lye a &s;leeping,</L>
<L>then my fal&s;e love may wi&s;h in vain,</L>
<L>Yet neither &s;orrowful &s;ights, nor weeping,</L>
<L>e're can recall me back again.</L>
