<L>IS &s;he gone? let her go, I do not care,</L>
<L>Though &s;he has a dainty thing, I had my &s;hare:</L>
<L>She has more Land than I by one whole Acre,</L>
<L>I have plow'd in her Ground, who will may take her.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Did not you promi&s;e me when you lay by me,</L>
<L>That you wou'd Marry me, can you deny me?</L>
<L>If I did promi&s;e thee, 'twas but to try thee,</L>
<L>Bring in your Witne&s;s, for now I defie thee.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Did not you &s;wear by the Powers above,</L>
<L>That you wou'd Marry if I'd grant you love?</L>
<L>Of all fair La&s;&s;es I thought thee bonnie&s;t,</L>
<L>And wou'd have marry'd thee had&s;t thou kept hone&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>'Twas your deluding Tongue made me mi&s;carry,</L>
<L>Becau&s;e you promis'd with me for to marry,</L>
<L>Had not you yielded &s;o &s;oon to lye by me,</L>
<L>Then to have Marry'd I had not deny'd thee.</L>
</LG>

<LG>
<L>I never lay with Man, except it were you,</L>
<L>Not thinking you wou'd have prov'd &s;o untrue:</L>
<L>If to lye by me thou then had&s;t refu&s;ed,</L>
<L>Then I thy Per&s;on &s;ure ne'er had abu&s;ed.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>You with the Art of a vigorous Lover,</L>
<L>Told me you plea&s;ure and joys cou'd di&s;cover;</L>
<L>But your fal&s;e plea&s;ure did la&s;t but a moment,</L>
<L>And for that plea&s;ure I &s;uffer more Torment.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Sweet fair charming Beauty you then had in &s;tore,</L>
<L>Had Vertue been added, there needed no more;</L>
<L>But if you had not been as willing as I,</L>
<L>You had not yielded with me for to lye.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Your promi&s;e made me to let ye lye by me,</L>
<L>I thought you con&s;tant, and could not deny thee;</L>
<L>But had I known the Intent of your Pa&s;&s;ion,</L>
<L>Thus for to grieve there had been no occa&s;ion.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thou fond and fooli&s;h Girl, leave thy lamenting</L>
<L>When thou art wi&s;er then I'll be Relenting;</L>
<L>When thou again art a Virgin I'll Wed thee,</L>
<L>And then with Licen&s;e I boldly may Bed thee.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>You plea&s;ure take to rail at my Misfortune,</L>
<L>Whil&s;t my poor heart do's ake to think of parti<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="2 letters">,</L>
<L>But &s;ince that you are re&s;olved to flye me,</L>
<L>I hope no other La&s;s e'er will lye by thee.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Farewell thou perjur'd Youth, fal&s;e and deceitfull,</L>
<L>I ne'er thought you wou'd have prov'd &s;o ungratefull</L>
<L>Fir&s;t by deluding Words thus to deceive me,</L>
<L>Having obtain'd your ends, &s;cornfully leave me.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Do but remember now when you came to me,</L>
<L>Every &s;olemn Vow made to undoe me;</L>
<L>By your alluring Charms I was invited,</L>
<L>You for my pre&s;ent Harms may be required.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Being the wor&s;t of Men, fir&s;t to Defile me,</L>
<L>And this no &s;ooner done, but &s;treight revile me;</L>
<L>From which I perfectly now do di&s;cover,</L>
<L>You were no more at be&s;t, but a fal&s;e Lover.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Let La&s;&s;es young and fair, that hears this Story,</L>
<L>Of a fal&s;e Lover be ware, bla&s;t not your Glory;</L>
<L>For many young-men will &s;trive to deceive you,</L>
<L>And when they have their Will, &s;treightway will leave you.</L>
