SONG:

Set to MUSICK By Mr. Rosengraefe.

I

Tell me, tender Youths, who languish
For some Fair Disdainful She,
If you feel the cruel Anguish,
That afflicts and tortures Me.


II

Are your Sighs in Tempests rising?
Do your Tears in Torrents flow?
Doth the Nymph, your Grief despising,
Falsely smile, to mock your Woe?

III

Lo on raging Billows tossing,
Just in Prospect of the Coast,
Hidden Rocks my Passage crossing,
Me poor shipwreck'd Lover lost!
