Betrayd, by Beleefe
H. Lawes
Ah, ah! the false fatall tale I read,
When my heart heedlesse and unwise,
First studied, and false commented
On the unknown text of thy lov'd eyes,
When thy glib-running lavish tongue
Showr'd down more oaths thy faith t'avow,
Then morning dews on flowr's are hung,
Or blossoms on the Summer bough:
So was my silly truth betrayd,
By a smooth tongue and winning eye,
Poysons by which ther's many a mayd
Has perisht sure as well as I.
