First Line: Frolic [frollick] virgins once these were
Last Line: Gave them hearts-ease turn'd to flow'rs.
Variant Title(s): How The Heart's Ease First Came


Frollick Virgins once these were,
Overloving, (living here:)
Being here their ends deny'd
Ran for Sweet-hearts mad, and dy'd.
Love in pitie of their teares,
And their losse in blooming yeares;
For their restlesse here-spent-houres,
Gave them Hearts-ease turn'd to Flow'rs.
