I always trembled while you was with me,

Lest you shou’d be found, and come to Injury:

While in the Field, both Lives in Danger were;

Fear of my parents did encrease my Care.

So that ’tis plain, ev’n at the best, my Mind

Was as disturb’d as I at present find:

Since you left me, had you but once seem’d kind,

I shou’d have follow’d, and not been confin’d.

Alas! what wou’d have then become of me,

T’ have brought a Scandal on my Family;
