[Music ]
IF you will love me, be free in expressing it,
And henceforth give me no cause to complain;
Or if you hate me, be plain in confessing it,
And in few Words put me out of my Pain.
This long delaying, with sighing and praying,
Breeds only decaying in Life and Amour,
Cooing and wooing,
And daily pursuing,
Is damn'd silly doing, therefore I'll give o'er.
