WHy should not I complain on thee, Thus cruelly for using me? When unto thee it is well known, In wronging me, in wronging me thou wrong'st thy own. Hard is thy heart, harder than steel, Colder than ice which frost conjeal; To the Gods above it is well known, My heart's more thine, my heart's more thine than 'tis my own. When first the youthful lad I see, Oh then he did appear to me An Angel, that does shine so bright; But now I've lost, but now I've lost my hearts delight. [I]t's too much for a Maid to trust A young man's mercy and his just; For I my self who sings this song, Can safely say, can safely say, he's done me wrong. Curs'd be the time I did him see, Curs'd be those eyes that look'd on me; Cursd be that flattring tonge I say, Which falsly stole, which falsly stole My heart away. How often he did swear and own, His Love was true to me alone, With tender kisses bound the vow [?]er he proves false, yet he proves false, and is untrue.
You Virgins beautiful and young, Take care of man's deluding tongue, They'll kiss and swear they love you too, Then court the next, then court the next. not minding you Him I did love would often cry: Give one kind look or else I dye; Then hug and kiss me in his arms, I thought he had, I thought he had a thousand charms. My tongue at first did give the lie, But yet I lov'd him tenderly, Which I to him at last did own, And gold we broak, and gold we broak, when it was known. Not gold nor vows could bind his love, The same he quickly did remove; He's gone and wed another Maid, His perjur'd vows, his perjur'd vows my heart betray'd. Unto some lonely place I'll go And live where I may never know What 'tis to be deceiv'd again, By any false, by any false and perjur'd man. Adieu, base one, for e'er adieu, I'll ne'er believe a man for you, And were all aid Mens of my mind, Since men prove false since men prove false we'd prove unkind.
