Maid. SIghs and groans and melancholly moans, I languish and anguish in doleful tones, For him I loved dear, I do complain, Because his Company I can't obtain. Man. Sighs and groans you say you are opprest, You say I am he whom you loved best, But if it be so and your heart be true, Then I will bear a part as well as you. Maid. Men are deceitful who can them believe Their flattering words, they Maids deceive: With their rubie Lips and their tempting eye, They terrifie poor Maidens till they dye. What cares he that never felt the smart, Of this my languishing love-sick heart, Had you a sence of what I do endure, Then you in Love would grant a speedy cure, Tis pale Death that now must give me ease, For there is nothing else my heart can please, Then on my Tomb, alas! it shall be read, That here lyes a Loyal Lover dead. Man. Thou hast no cause my dearest to complain, For as I am thy Love I will remain, To but believe me thou shalt be my Bride, For I vallue none in the World beside. None but thee, my love I adore, Thy Blessings dearest here I will restore, Dry up thy tears and take this tender kiss, Being in token of a true Loves bliss. Maid. Was I sure that these thy words were true, Then might I bid my sorrows quite adieu, Yet I have known Men say as much as this, And then have left their lovers in distress.
For when they have brought us to their bow, They then do prove our final overthrow, True hearted Men I find there is but few, Nay, I may say the very same by you. None but I, you say you do adore, Have you not said as much as this before, When you declar'd that I should be your wife, And yet you left me near bereav'd of Life. Man. When I left my Love, it was to try Thy pure affections, and thy constancy, I know when Cupid doth Mens hearts invade, Females have often times the Tyrant play'd, But I find my Love is none of those, Therefore my heart to thee I will disclose, Thy Loyalty my purest Love hath won, 'Tis none I prize but thee beneath the Sun. We'l ne'r part while I remain alive, Then let thy drooping Spirits now revive, The very mountains shall as soon remove, As I found disloyal to my love. Now when he had uttered forth his mind, There was no grief, but both to love inclin'd Where he imbrac'd her in his tender arms, With many sweet salutes and pleasing charms. Thus was tears strait turned into joy, There's nothing can their comforts now annoy, By solemn vows their hearts are linked fast, To live in Love, as long as life shall last.
