OH Billy, Billy, whither art thou fled, and left thy Phillis her to mourn, And grieve to think the vows that thou has made, thou now shouldst break with so much scorn, Cupid above, why did you move My heart to love by cruel Dart? His lying Tongue has wrong'd me all along, his Perjury has brought on me this smart. This youthful, youthful Lad appear'd to be (When first I saw his lovely Face) A Lover full of all Fidelity; but oh, the trouble and the sad disgrace Does fall on me since I did see Such Cruelty my Love does give, Which makes me cry, I'd sooner chuse to die, than ere believe a man more while I live. Go perjur'd Man, and try if you can find thoughout the world another she, That will to Billy every prove so kind, or e'er a he that is so false as thee; You call'd me Dear, and oft did swear None could compare for Beauty bright, Like your dear Phill this oft was swore by Will. how could you thus in Perjury delight? But since tis so false Lover now adieu, I hate the thoughts of man for thee, And now do think there is no Lover true, No, no such thing as love in man can be: This ile unfold as I am told, The Young, the old swear Constancy, A Maid they'l tell, there's none they love so well, yet straight they'l court the very next they see.
But now Ile wander o'er the watry Main, and my false Love will see no more, But Travel unto Barbary or Spain, and never will Return to English shore: If Phillis die, then happy I, Since I shall lye within the Deep, Whilst he forswear to wrong the harmless Fair, in the watry Waves lie fast asleep. Then Maidens, Maidens, pray be warn'd by me let no false Lovers you betray; They'l swear and curse, yet flatter you may see if they have stole your tender hearts away: They'l cog and lie, and say they die, If you deny what they request, Whilst all their Trade's to wrong a harmless maid and when they've done they count it but a jest. If you did feel the Torments that I bear, you nere would think on Lovers, no, Therefore sweet Lasses do but lend an Ear, and mind the wracking pains I undergo: With dread and fear my heart doth tear, I pull my hair, and have no rest, That moment when I think on perjur'd men, there's thousand Vipers knawing at my brest. Unconstant Love once more I bid adieu, may she that you get for a Bride, Have that Regard as Phillis had for you, is what is wisht by her that's cast aside, But yet I know you will not go To th' Shades below, but first you'll cry Oh she is gone, since Phillis I did wrong, I hate to live, but willingly would die.
