Why strove t’ ensnare my too-unguarded Heart,

When you were sure ere long you shou’d depart?

What Injury had I e’er done to you,

To make you with such Wiles, my Innocence pursue?

But pardon me, (thou Charmer of my Soul!)

For I will charge you with no crime at all.

Let me hear oft from you, where-e’er you are,

For I methinks shou’d in your Fortune share,

But above all, I beg you, by the Love

Which once you swore shou’d ever constant prove;
