M Y Dearest come hither to me, and i'le tell thee a peice of my mind, For all my delight is in thee; and thou shalt apparently find, That my love it is perfect and true, and so it shall ever remain, For I must bid all comforts adieu, if my dearest my Sute should disdain. Oh how many sighs have I spent when I thought of my Love & my Dear? In secret I us'd to lament, and I sometimes did part with a tear:
Oh! grant me one amorous smile, to ease me of sorrow and pain, For Death all my joys will beguile, if my etc. My life I shall lose to be sure, if thou to my provest unkind; Oh who can such torments endure, as Lovers rejected do find? The torments I cannot express, nor the troubles wherein I remain, And my sorrows will never be less, if my etc.
Sometimes a Dream gives me some ease, and I am, for a moment, content, With fancies my self I do please, but when I awake I lament; Then I storm like a Lover stark mad, and I wish for my freedome in vain, No Cure there s for me to be had, if my dearest my Suit should disdain. Oh fair one! now pitty my case, 'twas thy beauty brought me in a snare; For there is such charms in thy face, that all men that do not take care, Will surely their liberty lose, and be link'd in Loves Fetters & Chain: Oh! do not my true love refuse, nor my kindness requite with disdain. The Maids kind Answer . I T greives me my Love for to hear thou dost make such a mournful complaint And my kindness thou need not to fear, I am forc'd to love thee by constraint: For my love unto thee is entire, and so it shall ever remain; For I freely do grant thy desire, by no means I thy Sute will disdain. I 'le strive night and day for to please thee; what can a poor Lover do more? And of all thy paines I will ease thee, that my love have afflicted so sore:
Then be thou contented my Dear, and banish thy sorrow and pain, Thou shalt have no cause for to fear, that thy Sute I will ever disdain. False Dreams shall no longer torment thee nor trouble my Love in his sleep, I 'le study my Love to content thee, in secret no more shalt thou werp: I do swear now by all that is good, I my self now am link'd in Loves chain, And i'm now in an amorous mood, by no means I thy Sute will disdain. Oh! the charms of this conquering Love over Princes and Peasants do raign, And nothing their joys can remove; what is there can lessen their pain, Except gentle smiles and sweet kisses do flow from their Lovers amain? And this the true High-way to bliss is; and this will quite banish disdain. Then Dearest let's haste to be married, our happiness for to compleat, Methinks that too long we have tarried, come finish all I thee intreat, For I never shall have any quiet, nor ever be cur'd of my pain; I love and I cannot deny it, what needst thou to fear my disdain?
