Lyrics: Thomas Craggs, Earl Nugent

SInce first you knew my am'rous smart,
Each day augments your proud disdain;
'Twas then enough to break my heart,
And now, thank heav'n! to break my chain.
Cease, thou scorner! cease to shun me,
Now let love and hatred cease!
Half that rigour had undone me,
All that rigour gives me peace.
