SONG.
[Tell me no more I am deceiv'd]
I
Tell me no more I am deceiv'd;That Cloe's false and common:
I always knew (at least believ'd)
She was a very Woman;
As such, I lik'd, as such, caress'd,
She still was constant when possess'd,
She could do more for no Man.
II
But oh! her Thoughts on others ran,And, that, you think a hard thing;
Perhaps, she fancy'd you the Man,
And what care I one Farthing?
You think she's false, I'm sure she's kind;
I take her Body, you her Mind,
Who has the better Bargain?
