The same SONG Inverted.
By Mr. Walker.
EVadne, I must let you know,Your Cruelty is vain;For if you will no smiles bestow,I scorn your proud disdain.And since my Love, though pure and true,No just relief can find;Curst be that Fool shall dote on you,When you are still unkind.
II.
Were you as gentle as you're fair,I'd strive your Love to gain;But I can n••ver court Despair,Nor cherish ne••dless pain.If in a Week I cou'd prevail,Then I might happy be;But Love and Patience, both will fail,To wait Eternally.
