〈♫〉〈♫〉OYe blest Powr's pro╌pitious be un╌to my growing Love, none can cre∣ate my Mi╌se╌ry, if Cloe but con╌stant prove, tell her, if that she pity — me, from her you'll ne'er re╌move,

[Soft]

from her you'll ne'er re╌move.

II.

Each breeze of Air my Groans shall bear Unto her gentle Breast; Silently whisp'ring in her Ear, I never can be blest, If she refuse to be my Dear, I never can have rest.

III.

Ye Groves, that hear each day my grief, Bear witness of my pain; Tell her, I dye, if no relief I from her pow'r can gain. Tell her, ah tell that pretty Thief, I dye through her disdain.

IV.

Likely she may with piteous Eyes, When dead, my Hearse survey; And when my Soul 'mongst Deities Doth melt in sweets away; Then may she course those Victories, That did my Heart betray.
