Fair and Faithful.
SONG.
1
Go now, thou mighty God of Love,And plough me up yond' craggy crest,
Where the proud Eagle rears her Nest;
78
In vain thou com'st my faith to prove.
2
Let Curtezans on Carpets tread,Embroider'd all with Gold and Pearls,
And talk of nothing under Earls;
Yet I more honour bring to Bed,
In an unspotted Maiden-head.
3
Some pity me to see me free,To see me frolick, see me drink,
Of which they know not what to think:
Think what they will, I'le honest be,
Till those that pity, envy me.
