A SONG.

I cannot say you are forsworn,
Since you have proved true,
And yet I think my self forlorn,
VVhen by your actions still I view,
Your fancy's ranging for a new.
'Tis true, you loved me a while,
But soon your love was cold,
Then think no more on Beauties guile,
For your embraces are grown old,
And have no force my heart to hold.
I see the Treasures of that face,
VVhich once I doted on
Is to be found in every place,
And all the fleeting graces gone,
There's nothing left to look upon.
Yet when you 'ave seen the worlds store,
And where the Beauties be,
Reclaim your self, Ile ask no more,
But am content the spoiles to see
Alone devoted unto me.
