(I.) MAN. FArewell my Dearest Dear, now I must leave thee; Those bright and Shineing Eyes cause me to love thee; Those Cherry Cheeks of thine, that need no blushes, Those Red and Ruby-Lips burns me to Ashes. (II.) Here is a Ring of Gold, my Dear accept it; 'Tis for your sake alone, long have I kept it; Read but the Posie on't, Think on the Giver; Madam I dye for love, I dye for ever. (III.) Bad News is come to town, bad News is carry'd; Bad News is come to town, my Love is Marry'd; Bad News is come to town, I fell a weeping; My Love was was stole away, as I lay sleeping. (IV.) Since you so cruel be to make me wretched; I'll no more think on thee, sighs I have fetched; I'll no more doat on her, since she is cruel: She shall be now my scorn, who was my Jewel.

(V.) WOMAN. FArewel Unconstant Swain, once did I love thee; But since it was in vain, now I'm above thee: When I told you I lov'd, and I would have you, Then false to me you prov'd, and you did leave me. (VI.) As for your Ring of Gold, I do abhorr it; You may when you are old, get Money for it: Since that you tell me plain, long you have kept it, Keep it as long again, I'll ne'r accept it. (VII.) If I did seem unkind, 'twas but to try you, But now I know your mind, I do defie you: I once thought you to be not so false-hearted; Had you prov'd true to me, we ne'r had parted. (VIII.) Of all your promises you are forgetful; Young-Men I find by this, they are deceitful: They vow and swear they love, all to deceive us, And when that Kind we prove, then, then they leave us.
