I Once love a Man, and I loved him dear, But now he is gone and i'm never the near; He sure has took another and left me alone, Which makes me lament and bewail my sad moan: Yet through the deep Ocean I would swim like a Swan, And all for the love that I bear to the Man. If he to his promise had stood firm and fast, I should a been faithful whilst breath did last; But he doth prove disloyal now I do find, And like to the weather-cock turns with the wind: Yet through the deep Ocean I would, &c.
I never thought such a smooth tongue as he Would e'r a dealt so unkindly by me, The sweet pleasant words he then to me gave Which made me to think he would ne'r prove a Knave: Yet through, etc. But a Proverb there is and to true I it find, No sooner out of sight but strait out of mind: So crafty and so cunning are all these young men A maid cannot trust no, not one amongst ten: Yet through the deep Ocean I would swim like a Swan And all for the love that I bear to the Man. Yet through, etc.
Therefore young maids had best have a care Least in the conclusion their caught in a snare: Trust neighbor nor stranger wherever they be For Marriage is not like unto Libertie. Yet through the deep, etc. For at first they will feed you with words so fine, And tell you with Dainties you shall sup and dine: But when they have won you and brought you to their bow, Then they will leave you in the midst of all your woo: Yet through, etc. So false and deceitful my Love proves to me, That vowed and protested how faithful he'd be: But so soon as he'd won me he left me forlorn To rue the time that ever I was born: Yet i'll spend all my Bracelets, my Hood and my Fan, And eke all my Portion but I will have the Man. Cupid I prethee lend me thy Dart And help me to aim just right at his heart: Rather then another shall lye by his side For he can't deny but that I am his Bride: And through, etc. Was my heart out on's bosom as it was before, I'd make an Oath it should ne'r come in it more: But that fair Face of his and his curled Hair It will break my Heart and kill me with Despair.
Thus whilst other maidens are free from all care I am bound in fetters and kept in a snare, Worse then the Bores that in Cottages do dwell, Which makes me to wish they might ring my passing-bell, Yet through, etc. But heart sure is harder then is the stone, That can laugh and be merry whilst I make this moan: Whilst he sits and sings, my heart is full of woe To think of the sorrow that he hath brought me to. Yet, etc. Yet if that another true Love he hath got, If ever to see her it should be my lot, i'l pluck a Crow with her him for to win, Although she be twice bigger I vallue it not a pin. For through, etc. But i'm not the first I very much do fear That this false Lover has brought to Despair: For he that wooes so many will ne'r stand firm and fast, But for all his craft and cunning he may be caught at last. Yet, etc. So farewel Unkind one, for evermore adue, I hope for to find one will prove more true; Thou hast been so Disloyal unto ev'ry one, Thoult never be beloved thou hast such a false tongue: Yet through the deep, etc.
