Unconstant WILLIAM:
Or, The Damosels Resolution to Love Indifferently all MEN alike,
from her Experience of his Disloyalty. To an excellent new Tune.
|
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.
|
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, etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd, etc.
|
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.
|
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.
|
Tho' once I was Constant, yet now I am free,
|
nd I am resolv'd ever so for to be:
|
For here I love, etc.
|
For Love has intangl'd, etc.
|
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.
|
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.
|
I now can be Coach'd to a Ball or a Play,
|
And with a young Spark be conducted away:
|
For here I love, there I love, thus I love now;
|
For Love has intangl'd, me I know not how.
|
With Twenty or more, I will reap my Delight,
|
It is not one Strephon shall ruin me quite:
|
For here I love, there I love, thus I love now;
|
For Love has intangl'd me I know not how.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
