TEnder Hearts of London City, now be mov'd with Grief and pity, since by love I am undone; Now I languish, in my Anguish, too too soon my Heart was won. By him I am strangtly slighted, In whom I so long delighted, he unkindly shews Disdain; And my Grief is past Relief, alas! my Heart will break with Pain.
Damon 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've 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 trickle, Blaming Damon too too fickle, till her tender Heart was broke; Discontented, thus she fainted, yielding to death's fatal Stroke. When this News was to him carried, All his joys were spoyl'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 perplex'd in Mind; I deny'd her, and defy'd her, that was loving, chaste and kind.
Now methinks I'm strangly 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 seize me, for methinks my Spirits fail. 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 dye, Then his Joynts began to shiver, Straight he walks into the River, there to behold his watry Tomb. Often crying, and replying, Celia now I come, I come.
