 The thoughts of blind fortune I highly diſdain, ſo will I whilſt I have breath, But conſtant to him I ſtill will remain, whilſt I have a being on earth, On earth, whilſt I have a being on earth.

Some women will change, and ſhift like the wind, or the ſwallow that ſwiftly do fly, But I am reſolv'd ne'er to alter my mind, but conſtant remain till I die, Till I die, but conſtant remain till I die.

The frowns of blind fortune I never will fear, altho' it oft will be conſtant to him, I ſtill will be true to the man who's my dear, I'll remain ſo till my laſt minute is run, Is run, I'll remain ſo till my laſt minute is run,

Alexander did prove more conſtant in love, had he been as conſtant to me, As ever young Freſſey was unto his dear, when Cupid did ſet on her knee, Her knee, when Cupid did ſet on her knee.

I'll ſilently mourn for the loſs of my love, As the turtle that mourns for his mate, Altho' at preſent he is sharp and ſevere, he'll repent when it will be too late, Too late, he'll repent when it will be too late.

Altho' I do love him, he never ſhall know, that e'er he diſturbed my heart, But after my burial, the paper will ſhew, how Cupid has acted his part, His part, how Cupid has acted his part.

Farewel my falſe love I no longer can write, no longer can I hold my pen, My ſenſes are gone and I cannot indite, ſo adieu to the falſen of men, of men, ſo, etc.
