FOR LACK OF GOLD.

For lack of gokl fhe‘s lett me O, And of all that dear bereft me O! She me forfook for a great Duke, And to cadleft care has left me O!

A Star and Garter has more art, Than youth, a true and faithful heart, For empty titles we muft part. And for glittering fhew fhe's left me O!

No cruel fair fhall ever move My injured heart again to love; Thro' diftant climes I muft rove, Since Jeanie fhe has left me O.

Ye Powers above, I to your care Commit my lovely, charming fair; Your ehoineft bleffings on her fhaw Tho‘ fhe‘s for ever left me O!
