I. BEfore you went to Town, Just at our parting, Then your Love you did own To be most lasting; And you declared too, I should hear from ye, And have a Line or two, But ne're had any. II. Then your Vows you did seal With pressing Kisses; Which my Heart soon did steal By those false Blisses: But when you got to Town, I was not thought on, A New Love you had found, With bigger Fortune. III. Some Months did pass away, While I expected To hear from you each day, But was neglected; Which made me then to doubt You did deceive me, As since I've found it out How you did leave me. IV. Here is your Ring you gave When you departed; Nothing of yours I'll have, That's so false hearted.
How many Vows you made, Soft Kisses bound them; I thought all true you said, But false I found them. V. When I found you untrue, Had you a Lordship, I'd not be bound to you, In your false Courtship: But Fortune prov'd more kind, I met another, And married to my mind A Constant Lover. VI. Tho you bid Maids beware, I needs must tell ye, You'll draw Maids in a Snare, If they'll believe you: Therefore Young Women the[n] Mind not their Woing, For such false-hearted Men Are your undoing. VII. But if you marry him That's True and Loving, Then you will ne're repine, Nor e're be grieving; For your whole Life will be Pleasant and easie, Your Love will always be Ready to please ye.
