The Second Song.
Come quickly Death,
And with thy fatal Dart,
Release that Heart
That hath too long been thy great Rivals Slave:
Oh! stop that Breath
I languish out in pain;
Let me not Sigh in vain,
But quick and gently send me to my Grave.
For since that Swain
That I so dearly prize,
Doth scorn my Sighs,
And break those Sacred Vows to me he gave;
I'le not complain of Mans Inconstancie,
But humbly Beg of thee, with speed and ease,
To send me to my Grave.
And with thy fatal Dart,
Release that Heart
That hath too long been thy great Rivals Slave:
Oh! stop that Breath
I languish out in pain;
Let me not Sigh in vain,
But quick and gently send me to my Grave.

Doth scorn my Sighs,
And break those Sacred Vows to me he gave;
I'le not complain of Mans Inconstancie,
But humbly Beg of thee, with speed and ease,
To send me to my Grave.
And Love I'le still
Adore thy Deity;
And Worship thee?
If to my alter'd Shepherd thou'lt Relate,
Since 'twas his will, I should not call him mine,
I freely can Resign, and Die for him,
And glory in my Fate.
