 ( 8 ) For altho' you would my life demand, With a naked ſword into your hand, I would rather chuse to loſe my life, Than be to thee a wedded wife: For Cupid with his piercing dart, Ye: ne'er could wound this ſettled heart; A maid I am reſolu'd to die, I cannot love thee, O not I. Then get thee gone, thou ſaucy dame, If thou'll be ſhy I'll be the ſame; Sinçe ye have been ſo fly to me, l'll ever prove the fame to thee. I have no doubt but I will find As fair a female to my mind. So fare you well my own kind foe, You ſhall never need to ſay me no. Come beck young man, be not ſo faſt, Ye ſeem as ye were in a haſte Come back and take another kiſs, In token of a true love's bliſs. I have no doubt but you may find, As fair a female to your mind; My hart is thine, and ſhall be so, I never more will ſay thee no. Now my winter ſtorm is pad, And ſummer pleaſure's come at left; No no e again the tempeſts blow, For back again the tide doth flow. Since Fortune s tisd the lover 's knot, It ne er again ſhall be forgot: She is my own, and ſhe be ſo, She sa cr again will ſay me no.. FINIS
