Such was the hot flames ſhe feelt.

Call'd her coach which being ready,

I that have ſo many ſlighted,

Am at length so well requited,

For my grieſs are not a few

Now i find what love can do,

He that has my heart a keeping

Though I for his take ly weeping

Little knows what grief I feel,

But I'll try it out with el,
