Colin and Grisy parting.
With broken Words and downcast Eyes,
Poor Colin spoke his Passion tender,
And parting with his Grisy, cries,
Ah! Woes my Heart that we should sunder.
Poor Colin spoke his Passion tender,
And parting with his Grisy, cries,
Ah! Woes my Heart that we should sunder.
To others I am cold as Snow,
But kindle with thine Eyes like Tinder;
From thee with Pain I'm forc'd to go,
It breaks my Heart that we should sunder.
But kindle with thine Eyes like Tinder;
From thee with Pain I'm forc'd to go,
It breaks my Heart that we should sunder.
Chain'd to thy Charms I cannot range,
No Beauty new my Love shall hinder,
Nor Time nor Place shall ever change
My Vows, tho we're oblig'd to sunder.
No Beauty new my Love shall hinder,
Nor Time nor Place shall ever change
My Vows, tho we're oblig'd to sunder.
The Image of thy graceful Air,
And Beauties which invite our Wonder,
Thy lively Wit and Prudence rare
Shall still be present tho we sunder.
And Beauties which invite our Wonder,
Thy lively Wit and Prudence rare
Shall still be present tho we sunder.

Dear Nymph believe thy Swain in this,
You'l ne'er engage a Heart that's kinder,
Then seal a Promise with a Kiss,
Always to love me tho we sunder.
You'l ne'er engage a Heart that's kinder,
Then seal a Promise with a Kiss,
Always to love me tho we sunder.
Ye Gods take Care of my dear Lass,
That as I leave her I may find her,
When that blest Time shall come to pass
We'll meet again and never sunder.
That as I leave her I may find her,
When that blest Time shall come to pass
We'll meet again and never sunder.
