THE Maid's PETITION.

Cruel Creature! can you leave me,
Can you then ungrateful prove?
Did you Court me, to Deceive me,
And to slight my constant Love?

False ungrateful! thus to Woe me,
Thus to make my Heart a Prize:
First to ruin and undo me,
Then to Scorn and Tyrannize.

156

Shall I send to Heav'n my Prayer,
Shall I all my Wrongs relate,
Shall I curse the dear betrayer?
No alas! it is too late:

Cupid! pity my Condition,
Pierce this unrelenting Swain!
Hear a tender Maid's Petition!
And restore my Love again.
