Y Ou Lovers most Loyal, where-e're you be, Give ear to my Ditty, and listen to me; I now am undone, forsook, and forlorn, And this is the cause I so sadly do mourn: My Strephon he doth prove unkind, Another Mistris he doth find, Which is such a trouble to my sad mind, I almost dispair any joy to find. Through woods, & through desarts, i'le gang alone To Trees that are senseless i'le make my moan; By the murmuring streams as they do glide, I'le tell the mischance did me betide;
Bewailing the loss of my Love so dear, The fairest Swain I e're come near: And now my heart's drowned in sorrow and fear, Which from my poor eyes costs many a tear. Was ever poor Maid unhappy like me? Undone by my fate, crost byy Destiny! No, no, yet my passion I now endure, Yet cannot find help, nor hope for Cure: But this in the end a comfort will be, That I was true, he false to me; And tho' my downfal I plainly foresee, I hug my soft Chains, and would not be free.
The Rose in my Cheek begins to wax pale, And 'tis all in vain my case to bewail: But tho' on me now Dame Fortune doth frown, My love and my constancy brings me a Crown, That never will fade, nor never decay, Till I come to the Elizium Bay, Where Lovers most faithful no Tribute do pay, But sing their misfortunes for ever and aye. The Shepherd's Answer. W Hat makes my dear Cloris for to complain, Or why dost thou spend thy dear breath in vain Is Strephon unkind? tell me wherein, Ingratitude is a most deadly Sin; But as for my self, I freely protest, In thee alone I count my self blest: Without thee I pine, am never at rest, Since love with his power hath me possest. The name of my Cloris i'le still adore, I'le honour thy sight, what would'st thou have more I'le write thy dear name where-ever I go, And count thee a Saint amongst Mortals below: Then blame not thy Love, nor count him unkind. A Lover more true thou never wilt find; And when hand in hand we both are conjoyn'd, The blessing's compleat that Heaven design'd. I'le hug and imbrace thee between my arms, And chear thy sad heart by amorous charms: Fair Venus her self was ne'r honour'd more, Than my dearest Cloris , whom I adore: Why then should my love thus sadly complain, To fill thy Love with sorrow and pain? Death would be more welcome than thy disdain, Then dearest forbear, and sigh not in vain. Which when she did hear, she did much rejoyce, And blest the kind hour when she made her choice; Then kisses were free, and sorrow forgot, They loving ty'd fast the Gordion knot; which when they had done, they went to't with speed And tryed to get more of the breed: For these without doubt, were lovers indeed, Whose kindness there's none can ever exceed.
FINIS.
