Lyrics: Anon

Lucinda once my soul possess'd

But soon the blissful scene was o'er;
Full soon she fickle proved;
And left her shepherd to deplore
The loss of her he loved.
Yet think not that for thee I grieve,
Or pine at thy disdain;
There needs no comfort to relieve,
No balm to heal my pain.

For when I think how false thou art,
I thank the gods above,
Who gave me pow'r to wean my heart
From my inconstant love.
But this, Lucinda, this expect:
Rewarded thou shalt be;
Thou too, false maid, shall meet neglect,
While I am blest and free.
