Cease, fond youth, your suit to press,
Better 'twere that now we part
Cease, nor force me 10 confess
That another owns my heart.
lfIesolved you still beset it
Don't you wish that you may &c. IL
Fly, oh fly! nor see me more;
Absence will your pangs remove;
Fly to some far distant shore,
There TO seek another love;
One whose heart may breath the doubt
Does your mother know you're OUT
Yet, or ere we part for ever
Let my tongue one question frame;
Though we meet no more, ah, never,
Though no more you hear my name.
Swear by the stars the skies that spangle-
Has your mother sold her mangle?
