The Dying Lovers Complaint . Daphne laments cause Strephon is unkind , Wanting his love no comfort he can find , ●nd missing that which she desires to have , Poor Daphne sighs her selfe into the Grave . Tune of Young Phaon .

I Am quite undone my cruel one has me forsaken quite , He is the man , in whom I can take pleasure and delight . But he 's unkind and now I find my thred is almost spun , here I lament in discontent alass I 'me quite undone . Whilest others sleep I mourn and weep in tears I ●m almost , drownd , When absent he is gone from me , No comfort can be found . In slumbring dreams methinks he seems to be full kind to me , But when I wake this great mistake brings sorrow certainly .
The second part , To the same tune . My Golden hair I rent and tear like one , outragious mad . Cupid say I , I thee defie thou wicked wanton Lad. A minute then scarce past agest e're I do him implore , Cupid say I , thy deity I ever will adore . Thus do I pass my dayes alass and can no pleasure find , ● sigh and cry continually he 's cruel and unkind . Twice in a breath I wish for death such torments I endure , 〈◊〉 he 's ●ind I ne'r s'hall fin● 〈…〉 get a cure . Then down I lye in hopes to dye , ●re him I see again , But thoughts of him brings life aga●● and thus prolongs my pain . Both cur'd and kill'd , blood shed & 〈◊〉 all in a Moment is , From death could he again fetch 〈◊〉 with one poor smile and kiss , Thus do I turn I freiz and burn in a most strange condition , No Doctors Art can cure my smart . except he prove Physitian . But hopes of that must be forgot and I must to the grave . Come welcome death and stop my breath that I some rest may have .
