Duke of Gordon's Three Daughters, to which are added, Mary I believ'd thee true and Prince Charlie/Mary, I believed thee true

Mary, I Believed thee True.

Mary I believ'd thee true,
⁠And I was blest in thus believing,
But now I mourn that e’er. I know,
⁠A girl so fair and so deceiving.

Few have ever lov’d like me
⁠Oh ! I have lov’d thee too sincerely ;
And few have e’er deceiv’d like thee,
⁠Alas! deceived me too severely;

Fare thee well !—yet think a while,
⁠On one, whose bosom bleeds to doubt thee—
Who now would rather trust than smile,
⁠And die with thee than live without thee.

Fare thee well!— I’ll think o thee!
⁠Thou leav’st me many a bitter token,
For see, distracting woman ! see.
⁠My peace is gone, my heart is broken.

FINIS.
