A Song in the Play call'd, Rule a Wife and have Wife.
Set by Mr. HENRY PURCELL. Sung by Mrs. Hudson.

THERE's not a Swain on the Plain,

Wou'd be blest like me,

Oh! cou'd you but, cou'd you but, cou'd you but, on me smile;

But you appear so severe,

That trembling with fear,

My heart goes pit a pat, pit a pat, pit a pat, all the while.

If I cry must I die, you make no reply,
