I. AS he was ready to faint, and bid all the World adieu; The Damsel hearing his complaint, his blessings she did renew. II. In sorrow do not lament, these words she often said; My heart does still relent, to hear the moan you made. III. What tho' like the Marble-stone, thy heart was heavy and cold, Thou never shalt be overthrown, I'll love thee more dear than Gold. IV. I'll be at my Shepherd's call, and study to honour thee; If Love has power to conquer all, why may it not conquer me. V. No longer can I conceal true Love from my Loyal Swain; For why? the powerfull Charms I feel now flowing through e'ery Vein. VI. When as I wou'd not comply to thee whom I did adore, 'Twas but to try thy Constancy, I'll never forsake thee more. VII. Thy true Love and Loyalty, the Gordian Knot has ty'd: Now thro' the world I'll go with thee, whatever shall me betide.
VIII. I'll bend now to Cupid's Bow, and cast all my frowns away, For Love commands me to do so, and therefore I will obey. IX. With Blessings thou shalt be crown'd, and all my favours regain Likewise I'll heal the bleeding wound, of which thou didst once complain. X. I'll honour my dearest Love, and never will thee offend, And here within this shady Grove, in pleasure our days we'll spend. XI. And while our Lambs does feed here by the delightfull Spring, Together we'll in Love proceed, while Birds sweet Anthe[m]s sing. XII. I will curl thy silken Locks, which are so soft and fair, And while we tend our harmless flocks, we will live void of care. XIII. Unto the Elizium shade, my dearest shall never go, For true Love does my heart invade, it must and shall be so. XIV. This did his Joys restore, his griefs were gone and past, They vowed ne'er to sever more, so long as life should last.
