Alas! what hope of speeding, | |||
Where hope beguil'd lies bleeding? | |||
She bade come, when she spy'd me, | |||
And, when I came, she fly'd me. | |||
Then, when I was beguiled, | |||
She at my sighing smiled. | |||
But if you take such pleasure | |||
Of hope and joy, my treasure, | |||
By deceit to bereave me, | |||
Love me, and so deceive me. | |||

Alas! what hope of speeding,
Where hope beguil'd lies bleeding?
She bade come, when she spy'd me,
And, when I came, she fly'd me.
Then, when I was beguiled,
She at my sighing smiled.
But if you take such pleasure
Of hope and joy, my treasure,
By deceit to bereave me,
Love me, and so deceive me.
