Loves Hue and Cry.
Oft have I searcht both Court and Town, and Country Village too,
The Black, the Fair, the lovely Brown, Bold, Coy and Simple too;
Yet amongst all I ne'r could find
One that's more Constant than the Wind.

If nobly born, She scorns to be Confined in her Love;
If Riches make her melt, we see varietie she'l prove:
And She whom Want betrays, no less
Counts Change her only happiness.
Since all will try, Ile now no more court dangerous Constancy,
But Ile change Objects, and adore this sweet Variety:
For, taught by their Example, I
Love nothing now but Liberty.
