Lyrics: Anon
Come all ye doleful, dismal cares,
That ever haunted guilty mind;
The pangs of love when it despairs,
And all those stings the jealous find:
Alas! heart-breaking tho' ye be,
Yet welcome, welcome all to me.
Who now have lost - but Oh! too much;
No language, nothing can express,
Except my grief; for she was such
That praises would but make her less.
Yet who can ever dare to raise
His voice on her, unless to praise!
Free from her sex's smallest faults,
And fair as womankind can be;
Tender and warm as lover's thoughts,
Yet cold to all the world but me:
Of all this nothing now remains,
But only sighs and endless pains.
Come all ye doleful, dismal cares,
That ever haunted guilty mind;
The pangs of love when it despairs,
And all those stings the jealous find:
Alas! heart-breaking tho' ye be,
Yet welcome, welcome all to me.
Who now have lost - but Oh! too much;
No language, nothing can express,
Except my grief; for she was such
That praises would but make her less.
Yet who can ever dare to raise
His voice on her, unless to praise!
Free from her sex's smallest faults,
And fair as womankind can be;
Tender and warm as lover's thoughts,
Yet cold to all the world but me:
Of all this nothing now remains,
But only sighs and endless pains.
