To the Tttste of, The Doubting Virgin. [See p. 152, and iv. 344.]. \[Ear a pleasant flowing Kiver, there I with my Love did meet,i_N Where I often did endeavour, with kind arguments so sweet,As I tryed, she denied, all that ever I could say,Would not do it, now I rue it, Love will cast my life away. I in Love am now abused, and requited with disdain, True and Loyal, yet refused, sure my heart will break with pain :Here in anguish, do I languish, being thus opprest with care,Do not grieve me, Love, reprieve me: why should I for thee despair? Well, I am resolvd to wander, and to finish out my days, Though we parted are asunder, love, I still will speak thy praise ;Sure a sweeter fairer creature Nature never yet did frame,Yet my jewel is so cruel, I must now the Land refrain. While he thus Avas discontented, and perplexed in his mind,Many sighs and tears w[ere] vented, seeing she was so unkind,To reject him, disrespect him : now he well did understand,He should never gain her favour, he resolvd to leave the Land. 400 The Young Mans Unfortunate Destiny.
