The Frowns of FATE OR An ANSWER To the Young-Mans Unfortunate Destiny When Maids so Coy will slight their Joy With scorn and high Disdain Then grief and care with sad Despair Will end their Days in pain To the Tune of The Doubting Virgin WHen she heared how he died in a sad and woful state Bitterly aloud she cryed and in sorrow did relate Was I cruel to my jew●l that in Love did me adore Well she cryed and replyed I shall never see thee more O that I had ne'r denied what he did propose to me But had willingly complyed Love unfeigned never stained but as constant as the day Death possess me Heavens Bless me I have cast thy life away He most courteously did wooe me it is I that am too blame He did proffer to endue me with a plenty to maintain Me in Splendor this doth render all my actions now to be To refuse him and abuse him Oftentime he hath intreated that he might salute my hand Yea and many times repeated he would be at my command So entire his desire was to love without deceit When he smiled I reviled and did scornfully retreat Now too late I do repent it I have cast his life away Had I but in love consented he had never seen the day When we parted broken hearted he with sorrow was opprest And bewailed as he Sailed over Neptunes Curled breast I in sorrow am surrounded that I know not where to go My poor heart with grief is wounded I am in a Sea of woe No remission my condition is to languish to my grave To appease me Death come seize me this is that I fain would have Cupid now doth over rule me with his sharp severity He doth so chastise and School me For his power he I devour all the comfort of my life Never ceasing but increasing death must surely end the strife Love the thought of thee is killing I am haunted now with fears Heart and life with grief is filling and a thousand melting tears Now is flowing life is going hence into Eternity Then she cryed and replied love I 'le dye and come to thee Then her reason quite forsook her falling into deep dispair In her hand a Knife she took her which did soon her life impair She lay bleeding so exceeding bidding now the World adieu Death that hour came in power and in full Commission too You that hear this mournful Ditty of true Lovers Tragedy Let your heart be mov'd to pitty learn to love with Loyalty Then you 'l flourish when you nourish he that doth you highly prize Ne'r conceal it but reveal it
