I AM so deep in Love, I cannot hide it, It breaks me of my Rest, And of my Quiet: For when I see his Face, It so inflames me, That I must love him still, Though the World blame me. O fie upon this Love, It will undo me; Ill never love Man again, Should the Gods woo me:
Now if that once I can, Shake off this Passion, Ill neer love Man again, Only for Fashion. Theres no Belief in Man, Though they seem civil; For when they sit like Saints, They think most Evil: Therefore be ruld by me, Never trust a Man; But if you needs must love, Pray love a Woman.
I wish blind Cupid had Been sound a sleeping, When like a crafty Lad He came so creeping, To wound my tender Heart, And pierce my Marrow, I felt his fatal Dart, To my great Sorrow. Never poor Virgin was In such a Taking, I oft lookd in my Glass, Pleasure forsaking: My Cheeks were pale and wan, My Lips did tremble, Because I lovd a Man That did dissemble. Oh! what a simple Girl I was for certain, For to love Lord or Earl, I would not hearken: Not one in twenty Score, But is deceitful; Therefore Ill love no more, Men are ungrateful. It is their constant Trade To cog and flatter; Or to delude a Maid, Her for to banter: But if they prate and lie, Ill not believe them; Such Love Ill never try, Although it grieves them. Theyll profess, and pretend Much of Affection, Until they make you bend To Loves Subjection:
Of your Hearts craftily They will bereave you, Till a new Face they spy, Then they will leave you. Their Words they are but Wind, Like Winter Weather, Unconstant and unkind, Light as a Feather: I tell you flat and plain, Ill not abide it, To love a Man again, Once having tryd it. Blame me not, though I be Something in Passion; For now I plainly see, It is the Fashion, For such false-hearted Men, Are grown so common, That when I love again, Ill love a Woman. Why should a Woman dote On such a Bubble, Thats good for nothing, but To procure Trouble: Every Day I will pray For to live single, That my Affections may With no Mans mingle. Ladies, take my Advice, You have rare Features, Always be coy and nice To such false Creatures; No Man will constant prove, No not my Brother, Then if you need must love, Love one another.
