A Week before Easter, The Days long and clear, So bright was the Sun, And so cool was the Air; I went to the Forest Some Flowrs to find there, And the Forest would yeild me no Posies. The Wheat and the Rye, That do grow so green, The Hedges and Trees In their several Coats: The small Birds do sing In their changeable Notes; But there grows no Strawberries or Roses,
I went to Maedow Some Time there to spend, And to come back again, Did fully intend: But as I came back I met with a Friend, And twas Love is the Cause of my Mourning. I lovd a fair Lady This many a Day, And now to requite me, Shes married away: Here she now hath left me In Sorrow to stay, But now I begin to consider.
I loved her dear, And I loved her well, I hated those People, That of her spoke Ill, Many a one told me What she once did say, Yet I would then hardly believe them. But when I did hear My Love was in the Church, I went out from my Seat, And sat in the Porch: I found I should surely Be left in the Lurch. I thought that my Heart would been broken. But when I did see My Love to the Church go, With all her Bride-maidens, They made such a Show: I laughd in Conceit, Though my Heart was full low,
