When first I sought fair CAELIA's love

When first I sought fair CAELIA's love, And ev'ry charm was new, I swore by all the Gods above To be for ever true.

But long in vain did I adore, Long wept and sigh'd in vain; She still protested, vow'd and swore She ne'er would ease me pain.

At last o'ercorn she made me blest, And yielded all her charms; And I forlook her when possest, And fled to other's arms.

But let not this, dear CAELIA, now To rage thy breast incline, For why, since you forget your vow, Should I remember mine?
