I. I Am so sick of Love, I can neither stand nor go, But like a Drunken Reeling man, I waver too and fro. II. My heart is as heavy as Lead, and as Cold as the Marble-Stone; And now my true love is from me fled, and where shall I make my Moan? III. For Love is a little Dwarf, and Love is a Gyant tall, And Love is King in every thing, Love Conquers one and all. IV. The Champion in the Field, may stand by force of Arms, But yet he must submit and yield to Loves alluring Charms. V. I fancy'd a Lass of late, and priz'd her more dear than Gold, But now she has chose another Mate, and left me in Cupid's Fold. VI. Her Frowns I did dayly bear, and ne'r could a Smile obtain, My innocent heart is kill'd with care, while she did Tyrant Reign. VII. My Person she did abuse, revil'd me many a time, Yet I my dearest cou'd excuse, and pardon her greatest Crime.
VIII. For Love it will spy no fault, nor Love it will see no Sin, But every corner of my heart, Love gently creepeth in. IX. O gentle God of Love, come ease me of my smart, And heal this killing Wound you gave, that bleeds within my heart. X. My passion I cannot bear, my blessings are turn'd to grief, O do not suffer me to dispair, but yield me some relief. XI. Sweet Cupid now be so kind, to send Arrows from thy Bow, And make her now to love be inclind'd, whether she will or no. XII. Which will my blessings increase, and I with Comfort be Crown'd, And you a Captive will release, who in his Fetters lies bound. XIII, But if that you can't confine my dearest to love again, Shoot home into this heart of mine, for why shou'd I live in Pain. XIII. I willingly would repair unto the Eliziums sweet, Among the wronged Lovers there, my Injuries to repeat.
