Feighn would I love, but dare not trust
Because I know the hearts of Men
Glory oft times to be unjust,
Therefore I'le love I know not when.
Happy and blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
Because I know the hearts of Men
Glory oft times to be unjust,
Therefore I'le love I know not when.
Happy and blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
Were I like fair Parthenia,
And had an Argalus to wo me,
Experience bids me sadly say
A vile Dimagoras might undo me.
Happy and blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
And had an Argalus to wo me,
Experience bids me sadly say
A vile Dimagoras might undo me.
Happy and blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
I will not love, nor will I hate,
But constant to my vows I'le prove,
I'le be contented in this State,
When men prove just I'le learn to love.
Happy and blest is she that can

But constant to my vows I'le prove,
I'le be contented in this State,
When men prove just I'le learn to love.
Happy and blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
Then farewell all those flatt'ring toys
Which some esteem the greatest pleasure,
They are but out-side painted joys,
Virginity's the best of treasure.
How truly blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
Which some esteem the greatest pleasure,
They are but out-side painted joys,
Virginity's the best of treasure.
How truly blest is she that can
Live without this thing call'd Man.
