SONG.

I.

The happieſt mortals once were we,
I lov’d Mira, Mira me;
Each deſirous of the bleſſing,
Nothing wanting but poſſeſſing.
I lov’d Mira, Mira me;5
The happieſt mortals once were we.

II.

But ſince cruel Fates diſſever,
Torn from love, and torn for ever,
Tortures end me,
Death befriend me:10
Of all pains the greateſt pain
Is to love, and love in vain.12
