Song 1.

[I have a soft spirit & do what I dou]

I have a soft spirit & do what I dou
Dear Trapolin will have the guiding o't
While he talks & he smiles my hearts in a low
and now ther is no longer hiding o't
he hugs me & Jugs me and calls me his sweet
he ralles & Raves while he falls at my feet
by his constant adress his love seems complete
yet still I'm afraid of the abiding o't
