I sigh'd and I pin'd -- There's nothing so fatal as woman -- Fled is my love, for ever gone -- 'Tis death alone can give me ease -- I'll mount to yon blue coelum -- I'll sail upon the dog-star -- Jenny, gin you can love -- If thou wilt give me back my love -- The Gordian knot unty'd.

How happy's the husband -- The maid's last prayer. Though you make no return to my passion -- No, no, resistance is but vain -- Tell me no more, I am deceiv'd -- The marriage-hater match'd.
