〈♫〉〈♫〉WHen you have broke that ten—der Loy—al Heart, which so ma—ny
years did faith—ful to you prove; which for your sake endur'd Love's cru—el
smart, and when you scorn'd, made no re—turn but Love: You then, perhaps, will
to Com—pas—sion bend, when I'm to De—sti—ny become a Prey; and then you'l ease your
Lover and a Friend, you have too pro—di—gal—ly thrown a—way.
II.
Then that soft Nature Women always share,Will be as much your Bane, as Love was mine;You'l sigh in vain, and drop a fruitless Tear,And at th'irrevocable Loss repine:My Love before those Eyes shall still appear,Which gave its Being, and did ruine me;And you, who ne're cou'd love, shall always fear,This Vengeance shall attend your Cruelty.
Mr. Snow.
