ful Traytor, Farewel my Perjur'd Swain: Let never injur'd Creature, Believe a Man again: The pleasure of possessing, Surpasses all expressing; But Joys too short a Blessing, And love too long a Pain: _But Joys too short a Blessing,_ _And Love too long a Pain._ 'Tis easie to deceive us, In pity of your Pain; But when we Love, you leave us, To rail at you in vain: Before we have descry'd it, There is no Bliss beside it; But she that once has try'd it, Will never Love again. The Passion you pretended, Was only to obtain; But when the Charm is ended, The Charmer you disdain: Your Love by ours we measure, 'Till we have lost our Treasure; But dying is a Pleasure, When living is a Pain. _A_ SONG. [Music] You I Love by all that's true, More than all things here below; with a Passion far more great, Than e'er Creature loved yet: And yet still you cry forbear, Love no more, or Love not here. Bid the Miser leave his Ore, Bid the Wretched sigh no more; Bid the Old be young again, Bid the _Nun_ not think of Man: _Sylvia_ thus when you can do, Bid me then not think on you. Love's not a thing of Choice, but Fate, What makes me Love, that makes you Hate: _Sylvia_ you do what you will, Ease or Cure, Torment or Kill: Be Kind or Cruel, False or True, Love I must, and none but you. _A_ SONG. Note: _You must Sing 8 lines to the first Strain._ [Music] Let's be merry blith and jolly, Stupid Dulness is a Folly; 'Tis the Spring that doth invite us, Hark, the chirping Birds delight us: Let us Dance and raise our Voices, Every Creature now rejoyces; Airy Blasts and springing Flowers, Verdant Coverings, pleasant Showers: Each plays his part to compleat this our Joy, And can we be so dull as to deny. Here's no foolish surly Lover, That his Passions will discover; No conceited fopish Creature, That is proud of Cloaths or Feature: All things here serene and free are, They're not Wise, are not as we are; Who acknowledge Heavens Blessings, In our innocent Caressings: Then let us Sing, let us Dance, let us Play, 'Tis the Time is allow'd, 'tis the Month of _May_. _A New_ SONG, _the Words by Mr._ J.C. _Set to Musick by Dr._ Prettle. [Music] No _Phillis_, tho' you've all the Charms, Ambitious Woman can desire; All Beauty, Wit, and Youth that warms, Or sets our foolish Hearts on fire: Yet you may practice all your Arts, In vain to mak
