AN ANSWER TO The Vnconstant Shepherd OR Fair Cynthia's Grief and Care Crowned with Joy and Happiness by her Lover's Return To an excellent New Tune I. MY Dear let nothing trouble thy Heart for here I am returned again In order to cure that killing Smart of which thou so often didst complain II. 'T is true I was banish'd from my Love which was a Torment and Grief to me Yet now I will ever Loyal prove so long as I have my Liberty III. As I am thy true entire Friend thy faithfull and ever loving Swain There 's no evil Tongue shall thee offend so long as I do alive remain IV. In Kisses and sweet Embraces still our Minutes we 'll freely pass away As void of the thoughts of any ill as inn ocent Lambs that sport and play V. Thy Wishes at length are come to pass my Chamber and all I have is thine I never did see a sweeter Lass thy Beauty has won the Heart of mine VI. By wandering shady Groves about expressing true Sorrow Grief and Care Thy wandering Heart hath found me out now I am thy Captive charming Fair. VII 'T is true thou saidst thou sett'st Love as light as the Wind that blew from Tree to Tree But thy former Wrongs I now will right and we 'll live in Love and Loyalty VIII Love dry up thy flowing Tears he cry'd and bid all thy Sorrows and Cares adieu Tho' Fortune a while did us divide yet I 'll Love none in the World but you IX The whifling Winds did soon convey thy scornfull Sighs and Groans to me And therefore I made no more delay but readily came my Love to thee X. And now in the Circuit of mine Arms the former Delights thou still shalt find For viewing thy Youthfull pleasing Charms young Phaon he cannot prove unkind XI I pitied thy bitter Sighs and Cries and sorrowfull Groans that fill'd my Ears My Senses was struck with a strange surprize and straightways my Eyes did flow Tears XII Such killing Torments I then did feel which neither my Tongue nor Pen can tell No longer I could my Love conceal to hear thee taking thy last Farewell And now my sweet Cynthia and charming Fair if thou wilt but pardon what is past Thy Phaon do's solemnly declare he 'll love thee as long as Life shall last Printed for Charles Bates next to the Crown Tavern in Westsmithfield
