TEnderHearts of London City Now be mov'd with grief & pity since by Love I am undone, Now I languish in my Anguish, too too soon my Heart was won, By him I am strangely slighted In whom I so long delighted, he unkindly shews Disdain, And my Grief is past Relief. alas my Heart will break with pain Daemon you my Passion knew well, How then could you be so cruel, first my Heart to set on fire, Then to leave me, and deceive me, when I granted your desire Come and see me as I'm lying, Bleeding for your sake and dying, yet my Ghost shall trouble you When I depart with broken Heart, then all your Comforts bid adieu, Thou shalt never be contented But by Night and Day tormented, since thou wert so false to me; Celia dying thus lay crying. I will be a Plague to thee. Down her cheeks the Tears did trikle, Blaming Daemon too too fickle, till her tender Heart was broke: Discontented thus she fainted, yielding to Death's fatal stroak, When this News to him was carried, All his Joys were spoil'd and marred
and his Heart was fill'd with pain, Still expressing what a Blessing he had lost by his Disdain. The Young Man's Answer. OH! ye powers be kind unto me Else my Sorrows will undo me, I am so perplext in Mind: I deny'd her, and defy'd her, that was Loving, Chaste, and Kind. Now methinks I'm strangely daunted, By her Ghost I shall be haunted wheresoever I do go, I shall see her mine own Dear, since I wrought her Overthrow, Thus he pausing stood and thinking Looking as if he were sinking, while his Countenance grew pale, Death come ease me, quickly seise me, for methinks my Spirits faill, In his Conscience he was wounded, And his Senses were confounded, Tears ran trickling from his Eye But his Sorrow pierc'd him thorow: then he vow'd for Love to die. Then his Joints began to shiver, Straight he walkes unto a River. there to build his watry Tomb Often crying, and replying, Celia now I come I come.
FINIS.
