oh! had my fate been join’d with thine
as once this pledge appear’d a token
these follies had not then been mine
for then my peace had not been broken

to thee these early faults i owe
to thee the old and wise reproving:
they know my sins, but do not know
‘t was thine to break the bands of loving

for once my soul like thine was pure
and all its rising fires could smother;
but now thy vows no more endure
bestow’d by thee upon another;

perhaps his peace i could destroy
and spoil thе blisses that await him;
yet let my rival smilе in joy
for thy dear sake i cannot hate him

ah! since thy angel form is gone
my heart no more can rest with any;
but what it sought in thee alone
attempts, alas! to find in many

then, fare thee well, deceitful maid
‘t were vain and fruitless to regret thee;
nor hope, nor memory yield their aid
but pride may teach me to forget thee
yet all this giddy waste of years
this tiresome round of palling pleasures;
these varied loves, these matron’s fears
these thoughtless strains to passion’s measures —

if thou wert mine, had all been hush’d: —
this cheek now pale from early riot
with passion’s hectic ne’er had flush’d
but bloom’d in calm domestic quiet

yes, once the rural scene was sweet
for nature seem’d to smile before thee;
and once my heart abhorr’d deceit, —
for then it beat but to adore thee

but now i ask for other joys:
to think would drive my soul to madness;
in thoughtless throngs and empty noise
i conquer half my bosom’s sadness

yes, even in these a thought will steal
in spite of every vain endeavour, —
and fiends might pity what i feel, —
to know that thou art lost for ever

then, fare thee well, deceitful maid
‘t were vain and fruitless to regret thee;
nor hope, nor memory yield their aid
but pride may teach me to forget thee
