A Despairing Lover.
Farewell Despairing Hopes, I'le love no more
Farewell Despairing Hopes, I'le love no more; of Death I'm not afraid, my
poor Heart is betray'd; She that disdains my Love, must I adore. Farewell, Farewell despairing
Hopes, I'le live no more, I'le love no more. To crave from Cruel Eyes compassion, 'tis in vain;
and with Laments and Cryes to sob out Tears, the witness of my pain. No Death shall cure my Sore:
Farewell, Farewell Despairing Hopes, I'le live no more to see when I complain a Cruel Soul disdain,
that to my grief I love, when Her no tears can move, but rival tears: Ah! 'twas ne're heard before.
Farewell, Farewell Despairing Hopes, I'le live no more: Ne're flatter more my sense with
sweet and courteous Breath, 'twixt outrage and offence I am condemn'd, I am condemn'd to Death.
No more on Joys I dote, but with a doleful Note my Life and Death deplore. Farewell,
Farewell Despairing Hopes, I'le live no more, Ile live no more.
