old long syne ?
FIRST PART.
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never thought upon,
The flames of love extinguished,
And freely past and gone ?
Is thy kind heart now grown so cold
In that loving breast of thine,
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne ?
Where are thy protestations,
Thy vows, and oaths, my dear,
Thou mad'st to me and I to thee,
In register yet clear 1
Is faith and truth so violate
To th' immortal gods divine,
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne 1
Is 't Cupid's fears, or frosty cares,
That makes thy spirits decay ?
Or is 't some object of more worth
That 's stolen thy heart away ?
