| Ballad Title | 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 Mistris. / 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 Judgement, and does Reason blind: / Raises a Civil VVar, distracts the Soul, / VVhilst 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; / VVhich all his hopes with it he had Convey'd. |
