You knew you shou’d not long continue here,

And so did make me love but to despair.

Why was I singl’d out alone to be

Th’ unhappy Object of your Cruelty?——

Sure in this Country you might those have met

Who were for your cross Purposes more fit;

Such, who by frequent Use had got the Pow’r

To give their Hearts but for the present Hour;

Who of your Falshood never wou’d complain,

Nor give themselves for you a moment’s Pain.
