WEll met my sweet Susan , whom I do adore , I have not beheld thee this twelve-month & more , I never expected to see thee again , Ah I how can you slight me with scorn and disdain ? Love wast thou but loyal , I happy should be , For every moment my thoughts is on thee . My Love is intire in Susan my dear , But who wou'd a thought to have met with thee here ? Sure Fortune affords a favour in this , To send thee my Iewel , in every kiss Create a desire more happy to be , For every moment , &c. In thee my sweet Creature I place my delight , For thou art adorned with Beauty so bright , That none can excel thee since thou art so fair , Be kind and not cruel , for woful dispair , May ruine thy Lover , whose sorrow you see , For every moment , &c. There 's many a Damsel wou'd fain be my Bride , Young Nelly , and Nancy , and Sarah beside , Nay Prudence , and Dolly , likewise honest Joan , All these I must tell you , for me make their moan , But I am thy Captive and cannot be free . Since every moment my thoughts are on thee .
The Second Part , to the same Tune . I pray you be quiet sweet William , she said , I am not a weary of living a Maid : For House-keeping is chargable , Rent it is dear , I do not intend to be Marry'd this year . Take this for an answer , and keep your self free , And let not your fancy be fixed on me . For should we be Marry'd , we soon may enlarge Our greif , with our sorrows , our trouble and charge , Besides I must tell you , 't is not for a day , A Month , nor a Year , but for ever and aye : Therefore be advized , and keep your self free , And let not your fancy , &c. Let none of those Iealousies trouble my Dear , For I will provide for thee , Love , do not fear , I daily will by my industrous care , Provide for my Iewel , no labour I 'll spare : Then prithee de loving and let us agree , For every moment , &c. And though it is true , we may have no great store , Yet if we can keep but the Woolf from the door , With what I do earn , for I 'll carefully save , And doing of this love , what more would we have But to live in love , and likewise Unity , For all my delights are now fixed on thee . Now when he had told her his honest intent , She could not deny him , but gave her consent : Their love in abundance they freely reveal'd , Though once she deny'd him , at length she did yield To be his most tender and dear loving Spouse , With many sweet Kisses they sealed their Vows .
FINIS .
