A LOVE SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "UP, FOR MERCY, AND BE GOING"
Last Line: "UP, DEAR LOVER, AND BEGONE"

UP, for mercy, and be going, --
O will nothing rouse my dear?
These delays are my undoing;
Up, or @3he@1 will find us here.

What a mischief's in the making!
Misery me, we're both undone!
See, the window, -- dawn is breaking;
Up, dear lover, and begone.
