SONG.
1.
YOu wrong me Strephon, when you say,I'me Jealous or Severe,Did I not see you Kiss and PlayWith all you came a neer?Say, did I ever Chide for this,Or cast one Jealous EyeOn the bold Nymphs, that snatch'd my BlissWhile I stood wishing by?
2.
Yet though I never disapprov'dThis modish Liberty;I thought in them you only lov'd,Change and Variety:I vainly thought my Charms so strong,And you so much my Slave,No Nymph had Pow'r to do me Wrong,Or break the Chains I gave.

3.
But when you seriously Address,With all your winning Charms,Unto a Servile Shepherdess,I'le throw you from my Arms:I'de rather chuse you shou'd make LoveTo every Face you see,Then Mopsa's dull Admirer prove,And let Her Rival me.
