The Change.
1
Chloe , I wondring in my mind,Why men do such changlings prove,
Now the very cause I find,
'Tis occasioned by love,
And no judgement from above.
2
First I found it in my self,For I was not born so,
Yet alas the pievish Elf
Needs must have a Mistress too;
Pardon Chloe, 'tis not you.

VVhich when I had gotten, ILost within a day or two
Though I told her I could die
For her love; there came a new,
Made me bid the old adiew.
4
Thus I chang'd for Chloe's sake,After I had made a vow,
VVhich I changed and did make
Others that are broken now,
VVhich my Chloe must allow.
5
For I'me chang'd from hope to fears,See what Chloe's love can doe,
Changed even in my prayers,
Believe me Chloe it is true,
Chang'd to all, but King, and you.
