SONG XII.

[Stay smal Sinner]

1

Stay smal Sinner,
Cease thy suite!
If thy fair Words, cannot win her,
Thou wilt never bring her to't:
'Tis not all thy wiles can Doe't.
Lest of her own Accord she'l Loving be,
Faith! let her go! she's not a Wench for thee.

2

E'ne let her go!
There are more,
That now, perhaps, would gladly doe:
Thou may'st chuse of half a score,
Whilst confin'd in midst of store:
'Tis meerly Dotage, and will Madness prove,
Pox! Where she cannot like, she will not love.
