| The Mournful Shepherd: / OR / The Torment of Loving, and not being Lov'd again. / A SONG made by a Gentleman who Dyed for his cruel Mistriss. / No Torment can be found no greater pain / Then truly Loving and not Lov'd again; / For thats a strange Disease which Racks the mind, / Still routs the Judgment, and does Reason blind: / Raises a Civil War, distracts the Soul, / Whilst Fancy like a Raging Sea does roul: / The Lovers dreams of nothing but strange Charms. / And often thinks his Mistris in his Arms; / But Waking finds he did embrace a Shade / Which all his hopes with it he had Convey'd. | |
