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, I
Lost 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.
