〈♫〉〈♫〉FAn—ce—lia's Heart is still the same, hard and cold as Winter's morning,
tho' my Love is e—ver burning. Yet no Frowns or Smiles can e—ver melt her Ice, or
cool my Feaver, melt her Ice, or cool my Feaver.
II.
So long I talk and think of Love,All the Groves and Streams can name her,All the Nymphs and Eccho's blame her.If she keeps her cruel fashion,Nought but Death can ease my Passion.
III.
Of all the Charms that Lovers have,All the Sighs, the Groans, the Anguish,All the Looks with which I languish,Moves not her to any feeling,Beauty takes delight in killing.
Mr. Samuel Akeroyde.
