THE Young-Womans Answer TO Her Former Sweet-Heart On board one of His Majesty's Ships who complains of her Vnkindness Tune of I lov'd you dearly c. IN e'ery street I hear 'em sing My Love's Complaint who serv'd the King I went with him to the Boy it 'h ' Nore And could a gone all the World o're He says my Love appeared true I do declare it was to too And let his love be ne're so great Mine was as much tho' unfortunate A Golden Chain I had of him Which I will freely return again As for my sighing when we did part 'T was from the bottom of my heart Then both of us did straight agree At his return Married to be As for his letters he sent to Town I do declare I ne're had one But now I find it tho' too late My love complains of his hard Fate But 't is my Father's Fault indeed He often said that you were Dead Those letters that you sent to me My Father would not let me see But always said Child be at rest For thy Sweet-heart was slain at Brest Then he perswaded me to wed To a rich old Man that 's almost dead It 's true I 'm Married and am a wife I wish I 'd liv'd single all my life I always lov'd a Seaman brave And once I was in hopes to have Him which I now ne're expect to see You Maidens all then pity me While we are young and once in love It looks like blessings from above Yet our Friends oftentimes will make Us break those Vows for Riches sake And as for Gold and Silver too I freely curse it as well as you For if that had not caus'd this strife Then you and I had been Man and Wife Altho' we both are crost in love Your Resolution I 'd have ye move Since now you see the fault 's not mine Think not so hard on woman-kind Where one VVoman is false in love A hundred Men they false do prove Tho' I lay not this charge to you Nor I hope you don't think me untrue Return return I beg my Dear For here are thousand VVomen here That are more Beautiful than I Therefore ne're go where Bullets fly 'T would be the comfort of my life To see you have a happy VVife Tho' I am crost 't will ease my pain To see you once return'd again Printed for Charles Barnet
