Lyrics: Anon
The flattering words, sharp glosses that men use
To trap poor silly women in their snares
With feigned looks, their gentle sex abuse;
Which yields nought else but grief and endless cares.
Sometimes they smile, and sometimes frown,
But never plead indeed.
Till time and place where they may watch
Their sorrows for to breed.
The flattering words, sharp glosses that men use
To trap poor silly women in their snares
With feigned looks, their gentle sex abuse;
Which yields nought else but grief and endless cares.
Sometimes they smile, and sometimes frown,
But never plead indeed.
Till time and place where they may watch
Their sorrows for to breed.
