German hog.
Frail creature I, thus to have been
Cheated out of my sense
By treacherous men, who forc'd me, to my shame,
To hurry my husband hence.
They taught me that the breach of vows
Was not a sin at all !
To keep up the laws of religion, the old cause,
When likely they were to fall.
A wretched creature, I then learn'd
A lesson that was odd ;
To break Jesus' laws, the only way then was
To keep the laws of Grod.
But sad experience has me taught
A lesson that's more true ;
He's justly condemn'd, who, for a godly end.
Breaks through a solemn vow.
Great James, come kiss me now, now,
Great James, come kiss me now,
Too long I've undone myself these years bygone,
By basely forsaking you.
