for him Will add but very little to your Honour But to my anger much 't will make me pass Censure on you and heavier Doom on him Had I but said it nothing shou'd ha chang'd me But having sworn it you may easier Remove the Kingdom than stay that man in it Then let him hear his Sentence once again If after three days space he shall be found On any Ground that I am Ruler of The World shall not be Ransom for his Life Exit Qu. Oh wretched wretched me Oh! I cou'd turn My Breath and Spirits all all into Curses Curse all thy Enemies and all the World I prethee joyn with me and let us Curse e'm Suff. A Plague upon e'm Wherefore shou'd I curse e'm Were Curses killing as the groans of Mandrakes I 'de stay to curse e'm were the Palace burning And every word I said were half on 't fire And I my Curses ended shou'd be Ashes For what 's the difference 'tween being Ashes Or Water as I soon shall be with Sorrow Qu. I must betake my self now to my Tears The last poor refuge of a wretched Woman Suff. Must I see this And can I not revenge it Like one of the fallen Spirits banish'd Heaven I stand upon the shining Precipice And look with grief on all the Joys I 'me leaving Then down with Terror on my desperate fall Then grin with rage because I cannot help my self And amidst all these Passions I 'me more tortur'd In Heaven than I sh●ll be when fallen to Hell Qu. My griefs no flesh can bear no soul can guess Oh! that the moment when thou took'st me Prisoner Thy Sword had seperated my Soul and Body Then had I been at ease but now thy Banishment Divides e'm and I live to feel the torment Suff. I 'le stay with you what ever shall befal me Qu. What shou'd befal but Death to both of us The strong convulsions of my griefs have tir'd Wasted and weakned so my vanquish't Spirits That I am fainting now into a calm Suff. And in this calm the current of my Sorrows Shall bear my drowning Spirits to thy Bosom And lay it there as on a Bank of Lillies Where I will Die as in a pleasing slumber Qu. This must not be we must not stay together No we must part or staying thou must Die I rather will endure a lingring Death Of a long parting than by Death to lose thee Whilst we are living we may meet again Suff. We may we shall the King is not Immortal Or if he were his Anger is not so But both will have an end so will our Sorrows The longest life has still an utmost point No Creature is infinite Qu. Except my Love Suff. In hopes then once to meet again Farewel Qu. Oh! sad heart-breaking word Where e're thou wandrest Send to me oft Suff. What joy shall I have else All Places will be desolate and I Shall live no longer than I hear you live Qu. My Fit returns again unhappy we Why are we two so nearly joyn'd in Love And yet by Fortune kept so wide asunder First by thy Marriage and now by thy Banishment My Love was thrown as soon as it was Born On cold Dispair hearing thou hadst a Wife Hadst thou had none and only been a Shepherd And known no other wealth than a small Flock No other Title than the charming Swain For so wou'd every Shepherdess have call'd thee I wou'd have rather been thy humble Wife Than Queen to Henry Suff. If I shou'd stay here Till I told o're the Wealth I wou'd have given For such a happiness we ne're shou'd part Qu. Oh! must we part Heaven made us for each other And then did set us two of all the World Farthest asunder a Wife first did part us But now whole Kingdoms and whole Worlds must part us These Miseries I might have well expected My Love was born under Captivity I was thy Prisoner e're my heart was so Chains lay at th' entrance of the gate of Love And pa●l Dispair forbad me entring in Yet such sweet Prospects drew my heart along It entred in and now is lost for ever Suff. Say not for ever Do not cruelly Put out the eyes of our Prophetick hopes Which like so many Angel-guides will lead Our Souls to pleasant Prospects of delight Where we may gaze till Fate is tir'd with frowning And Time with holding two so bent to meet Shall loose his hold and let us flie together Till then farewel Qu.

How am I robb'd of all my joys in Youth That now my doleful Years will hang on me Like a great Family on a poor Bankrupt My hope is Destiny will ne're be able With this great weight of Misery upon me To drag me to the Prison of old Age Where we lie cold and dark as in the Grave And have as great a load of Earth upon us Where melancholy thoughts about us crawl Like Toads in Dungeons about Malefactors That Prison where through gates of Horror wrinkled Fate feeds us with the Water of our Tears But enough to quench the thirst of Sorrow For the old Well is then almost dried up Lady Oh! Madam you 'l bring Age on you in Youth If you weep thus Qu.
