A Dieu false men adieu, deceive poor maids no more, Not one in ten is true, which grieves poor Maids full sore: And I poor soul beleiv'd too soon, the flatteries of my dear, Who made me mourn, Left me forlorn, to part with many a tear. Now I too late lament, my fond Credulity, Which caus'd my discontent, whilst I in flames did fry: But it shall ne'r be said of me, for love I broke my heart, But i'le defie Those Darts that flye, and cause poor Lovers smart.
Thy Quiver and thy Bow blind Cupid I do scorn, It shall no more be so that I shall be forlorn: Nor never will I man believe, whilst I enjoy my breath, Cringes, and Bows, And flattering vows, I hate far worse than death. I had been bravely fool'd, had I gave my consent, By reason I was School'd, his offers to prevent; He aim'd at my Virginity, I plainly did perceive, But for his sake, This vow I make, no man for to believe. The second part, to the same Tune .
I kept my Virgins Fort, and stoutly did deny, Hir vigorous assault, and never would comply: For that had sure my ruine been, had I thereto agreed, I did espy His Treachery, and he could not proceed. Trust not the fairest Tongue, for young-men will deceive, And Maidens that are young, are apt for to believe: But they too late do oft Lament, and can find no redress, Oh! then beware, And have a care, of such like simpleness. For when you are undone, the World will you deride, For so soon being won, let reason be your guide: And never do a promise trust, for when their wills they gain, They'l laugh you see, Exceedingly, and will you quite disdain.
'Tis sad to see a Soul, rob'd of Virginity, How she will then condoule, for her simplicity: But those that can their plots find out full happy sure they are, Then Maidens all, Both great and small, of such like men beware. Ten thousand are beguil'd, by false deceitful men, And when they are quite spoil'd , there is not one in ten That will upon them pitty take, but cry too kind they were, Tho' now forsook, They might have took of their repute more care.
FINIS.
