<L>SIghs and groans, and melancholly moans,</L>
<L>I langui&s;h and angui&s;h in dolefull Tones,</L>
<L>For him I loved dear I do complain.</L>
<L>Becau&s;e his company I can't refrain.</L>

<L>Sighs and groans you &s;ay you are oppre&s;t,</L>
<L>You &s;ay I am he whom you loved be&s;t,</L>
<L>But if it be &s;o, and your heart be true,</L>
<L>Then I wil bear a part as well as you.</L>

<L>Men are deceitfull, who can them believe,</L>
<L>Their flattering words, they Maids deceive</L>
<L>With their Ruby Lips, and their tempting Eye,</L>
<L>They terrifie poor Maidens till they dye,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>What cares he that never felt the &s;mart</L>
<L>Of this my langui&s;hing Love-&s;ick Heart;</L>
<L>Had you a &s;ence of what I do endure,</L>
<L>Then you in love would grant a &s;peedy cure.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Tis pale Death that now mu&s;t give me ea&s;e,</L>
<L>For there is nothing el&s;e my Heart can plea&s;e,</L>
<L>Then on my Tomb alas! it &s;hall be read,</L>
<L>That here lies a loyal Lover dead.</L>
</LG>
</SP>

<SPEAKER>Man.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>Thou ha&s;t no cau&s;e my deare&s;t to complain,</L>
<L>For as I am thy Love I will remain,</L>
<L>Do but believe me, thou &s;halt be my Bride,</L>
<L>For I value none in the World be&s;ide.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>None but thee my Love I adore,</L>
<L>Thy ble&s;&s;ings deare&s;t here I will re&s;tore,</L>
<L>Dry up thy Tears, and take this tender ki&s;s,</L>
<L>Being in token of a true Loves bli&s;s.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Maid.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>Was I &s;ure that the&s;e thy words were true,</L>
<L>Then might I bid my &s;orrows quite adieu,</L>
<L>Yet I have known Men &s;ay as much as this,</L>
<L>And then have left their Lovers in di&s;tre&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For when they have brought us to their bow,</L>
<L>They then do prove our final overthrow,</L>
<L>True hearted Men I find there is but few,</L>
<L>Nay, I may &s;ay the very &s;ame by you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>None but I, you &s;ay you do adore,</L>
<L>Have you not &s;aid as much as this before,</L>
<L>When you declar'd that I &s;hould be your wife,</L>
<L>And yet you left me near bereav'd of Life.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Man.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>When I left my love, it was to try</L>
<L>Thy pure affections, and thy con&s;tancy.</L>
<L>I know when <HI>Cupid</HI> doth Mens hearts invade,</L>
<L>Females have oftentimes the Tyrants play'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But I find my Love is none of tho&s;e,</L>
<L>Therefore my heart to thee I will di&s;clo&s;e;</L>
<L>Thy Loyalty my pure&s;t Love hath won,</L>
<L>'Tis none I prize but thee beneath the Sun.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>We'll never part while I remain alive.</L>
<L>Then let thy drooping Spirits now revive,</L>
<L>The very Mountains &s;hall as &s;oon remove,</L>
<L>As I found di&s;loyal to my Love.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now when he had uttered forth his mind,</L>
<L>There was no grief, but both to love inclin'd.</L>
<L>Where he embrac'd her in his tender arms,</L>
<L>With many &s;weet &s;alutes and plea&s;ing charms.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus was tears &s;traight turned into joy,</L>
<L>There's nothing can their comforts annoy,</L>
<L>By &s;olemn vows their hearts are linked fa&s;t,</L>
<L>And live in love, as long as life &s;hall la&s;t.</L>
