Unconstant WILLIAM,
OR,
The Damosels Resolution to Love Indifferently all Men alike,
from her Experience of his Disloyalty.
To an Excellent New Tune .
|
1.
|
COnstancy I am sure is not my Fate,
|
For him I lov'd yesterday to day I hate:
|
For here I love, there I love, thus I love now;
|
For Love has intangl'd me I know not how .
|
2.
|
Of all the Young-men that ever I did see,
|
I lov'd William best, till he prov'd false to me:
|
For here I love, there I love, thus I love now;
|
For Love has intangl'd me I know not how .
|
3.
|
I loved him well, but his love it was small,
|
And now for the future I swear to love all:
|
For here I love, etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd, etc.
|
4.
|
For now I love Richard , Charles , Thomas and John ;
|
I likewise love Robert that pretty Young-man:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
5.
|
Tho' once I was Constant, yet now I am free,
|
And I am resolv'd ever so for to be:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
6.
|
Might I have a Miser with thousands, and more,
|
I'd slight him, altho' he my Charms would adore:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
7.
|
I never will value the name of a Bride,
|
To one Huffing Gallant I'll never be ty'd:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
8.
|
I now can be Coach'd to a Ball or a Play,
|
And with a young Spark be Conducted away:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
9.
|
With Twenty or more, I will reap my Delight,
|
It is not one Strephon shall ruin me quite:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
10.
|
My heart now will never be subject to break,
|
Like other young Maids whom their Gallants forsake:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
11.
|
To Lawyers, nay Schollars, and Merchants also,
|
My equal affections and kindness I show:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
12.
|
I'll never be subject to any ones Frown,
|
While I am belov'd by the best in the Town;
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
13.
|
When leaving the City I rang'd to the Court,
|
And there with young Gallants in Pleasure I sport:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
14.
|
I could have been Loyal to one and no more,
|
Had I not been slighted by William before:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
15.
|
I find by experience, Young-men are unjust,
|
Therefore I will now be as false as the rest:
|
For here I love , etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd , etc.
|
16.
|
If Batchelors they, through an evil design,
|
Let their Fancy waver, pray why may not mine?
|
For here I love,there I love, thus I love now;
|
For Love has intangl'd me I know not how.
