A SONG in the LUCKY YOUNGER BROTHER Or the BEAU DEFEATED Set by Mr. John Eccles , Sung by M rs Willis , and exactly engrav'd by Tho: Cross .

Releive , the fair Belinda said , releive ye Gods a Lovers Pain ; releive a poor unhap — py Maid , by faithless Vows , to Love betray ' ; diyet not , yet not belov'd again . Ah! if to Love : Ah! if to Love , it be a Pain : What is 't to be not Lov'd again ? Till fifteen Parents me obey ; then Lovers Sigh and Moan , and leave us not , 'till they convey , with am'rous Sighs our Hearts away : So that there ne'er our own ; own . How wretched are we Women ; how wretched are we Women grown ! Our Hearts and Wills are ne'er our own ; are ne'er , are ne'er our own : No no , no , no , no , no , no , no , our Hearts and Wills are ne'er , are ne'er our own : Our Hearts and Wills are ne'er our own ; are ne'er , are ne'er our own .
