<HEAD>The YOUNG-MANS <HI>Unfortunate De&s;tiny.</HI> It being the True Lovers Lamentable Overthrow.</HEAD>
<ARGUMENT>
<L><HI>When they devi&s;e to Tyranize,</HI></L>
<L><HI>It often proveth true,</HI></L>
<L><HI>That in this Snare they do impair</HI></L>
<L><HI>Both Life and Fortune too.</HI></L>

<LG>
<L>NEar a Plea&s;ant flowing River,</L>
<L>there I with my Love did meet,</L>
<L>Where I often did endeavour,</L>
<L>with kind arguments &s;o &s;weet;</L>
<L>As I tryed, &s;he denied,</L>
<L>all that ever I could &s;ay,</L>
<L>Would not do it, now I rue it,</L>
<L>love will ca&s;t my Life away.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I in Love am now abu&s;ed,</L>
<L>and requited with di&s;dain,</L>
<L>True and Loyal, yet refu&s;ed,</L>
<L>&s;hure my heart will break with pain:</L>
<L>Here in angui&s;h, do I langui&s;h,</L>
<L>being thus oppre&s;t with care,</L>
<L>Do not grieve me, Love, reprieve me,</L>
<L>why &s;hould I for thee di&s;pair?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Well, I am re&s;olv'd to wander,</L>
<L>and to fini&s;h out my days,</L>
<L>Though we parted are a&s;under,</L>
<L>love, I &s;till will &s;peak thy Prai&s;e;</L>
<L>Sure a &s;weeter fairer Creature,</L>
<L>nature never yet did frame,</L>
<L>Yet my jewel is &s;o cruel,</L>
<L>I mu&s;t now the Land refrain.</L>

<LG>
<L>While he thus was di&s;contented,</L>
<L>and perplexed in his mind,</L>
<L>Many Sighs and Tears was vented,</L>
<L>&s;eeing &s;he was &s;o unkind:</L>
<L>To reject him, di&s;re&s;pect him,</L>
<L>now he well did under&s;tand,</L>
<L>He &s;hould never, gain her favour,</L>
<L>he re&s;olv'd to leave the Land.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Love farewel, I now mu&s;t leave thee,</L>
<L>and will cro&s;s the Ocean Main,</L>
<L>Nothing in the world doth grieve me,</L>
<L>but the thoughts of thy disdain:</L>
<L>Now we &s;ever, &s;urely never,</L>
<L>will I on a Beauty gaze,</L>
<L>As a Stranger, and a ranger,</L>
<L>will I fini&s;h out my days.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then aboard a Ship he enter'd,</L>
<L>bidding now his Love adieu,</L>
<L>On the Ocean wide he ventur'd,</L>
<L>where much dangers did en&s;ue;</L>
<L>When oppre&s;&s;ed, and di&s;tre&s;&s;ed,</L>
<L>on the mighty Ocean Sea,</L>
<L>He replyed, often cryed,</L>
<L>now my Love hath ruin'd me.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Had I but my dear enjoyed,</L>
<L>then were I'm happy State,</L>
<L>Now alas I am de&s;troyed,</L>
<L>by the cruel hand of Fate;</L>
<L>I am wounded, and Surrounded,</L>
<L>with the thoughts of her di&s;dain,</L>
<L>I de&s;ire to expire,</L>
<L>rather then to live in pain.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>While he was his thoughts condoling,</L>
<L>thinking on his only dear,</L>
<L>They on mighty Waves was rowling.</L>
<L>'twixt the thoughts of hope and fear;</L>
<L>Then his trouble waxed double,</L>
<L>by the Rovers of the Sea,</L>
<L>They betray'd them, and convey'd them</L>
<L>e'ry man to Slavery.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now his &s;orrows are increa&s;ed,</L>
<L>none but by the Silent Grave</L>
<L>Can he hope to be relea&s;ed,</L>
<L>but to live and dye a Slave;</L>
<L>Never cea&s;ing, but increa&s;ing,</L>
<L>in the angui&s;h of his mind,</L>
<L>Woful greeting, and repeating,</L>
<L>I &s;hall never comfort find.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At the length he was befriended</L>
<L>by the Fatal Stroak of death,</L>
<L>All his grief and &s;orrow ended,</L>
<L>when he did resign his breath;</L>
<L>When &s;he heared, then &s;he feared,</L>
<L>&s;he had wrought his overthrow,</L>
<L>Then &s;he Acted, like Di&s;tracted,</L>
<L>as her <HI>An&s;wer</HI> plain will &s;how.</L>
