First Line: Strephonetta, why d'ye fly me
Last Line: Who before the chaplain wooed.
Subject(s): Cruelty; Eyes; Love - Complaints


STREPHONETTA, why d'ye fly me,
With such rigour in your eyes?
Oh! 'tis cruel to deny me,
Since your charms I so much prize.

But I plainly see the reason,
Why in vain I you pursued;
Her to gain 'twas out of season,
Who before the chaplain wooed.
