The Unhappy TAYLER OR , Loves Fatal Farwel , being a Tragical Relation of one James Orde a Tayler ; Who Hang'd himself on Sunday Morning in the new Buildings near Lamb's Cunduit , for Love of a Young Maiden who slighted his Courtship . To the Tune of Johnson's Farewell

Licensed according to Order .

COme all Rash Lovers pray draw near , and hear what I shall tell , Of one who lately did despair , and for that cause he fell : He was Tailor brisk and brave , who lov'd a handsome Maid , And did for speedy Marriage crave , but she the same delaid . Which drove him to such discontent , that he no rest could find , Both Night and Day he did lament , to see his Love unkind ; And took the same so much to heart , in silence he did grieve , Such was the force of Cupids Dart , that none could him relieve . Until at last despair and grief united so their Power , His Case was far beyond relief , sad Fate must him devour . For having got a slender Roap on Sunday-morning last , As one being void of future hope , he hang'd himself in hast . In the New-building near the Field , his body it was found , Where , he to fatal death did yield , tho' his feet touch'd the Ground ; Which did amaze all those who see his sad and dismal fate , Because that Loves unkind Decree , had thus cut off his date . About him were some Letters found . Which plainly seem'd to tell , Dispare had on him gain'd such ground , In peace he could not Dwell Likewise he did disire all , Who heard of his sad Fate To take example by his Fall , Before it was too late . His Sweet heart she no sooner hears , This sad and Doleful newes But she with Sorrows Grief and Tears All comfort doth refuse , For her unkindness to her Dear , She doth Lament and Morn , 'Cause to him she was so severe As her True Love to scorn . Oh ! all Young Maid's ( quoth she beware How you true love dispise , Least you like me , bring on dispare , Make Love a sacrifice I freely would give all I have , To bring him back again , But t is too late his Life to save My sighs are all in vain .
