Orpheus CAtEDONitrs. 41
His tempting Face and flatt'ring Cbear,
In time to mc did not appear 5
But now I fee, that cruel he,
Cares neither for his Babe nor me.
BaloWy &c*
Farewell, farewell, thou falfefl: Youth,
That ever kift a Woman's Mouth,
Let never any after me,
Submit unto thy Courtefy :
For, if they do, O ! cruel thou.
Wilt her abufe, and care not how,
BaloWy &c. ^
I was too cred'lous at the firft,
To yield thee all a Maiden durfl:,
Thou fwore for ever true to prove.
Thy Faith unchang'd, unchanged thy Love §
But quick as Thought the Change is wrought^,
Thy Love's no more, thy Promife nought.
Balowy &c,
I wilh I were a Maid again.
From young Men's Flattery Fd refrain 5
For now unto my Grief I find,
They are all perjur'd and unkind :
Bewitching Charms bred all my Harms;,
Witnefs my Babe lies in my Arms,
BaloWi &c.
