SONG: 1 by THOMAS DUFFETT

First Line: SINCE COELIA'S MY FOE
Last Line: NO ANSWER AGAIN.
Subject(s): FAREWELL; LOVE - UNREQUITED; PARTING;
SINCE Coelia's my foe;
To a desert I'll go!
Where some river
For ever
Shall echo my woe!

The trees shall appear
More relenting than her;
In the morning
Adorning
Each leaf with a tear.

When I make my sad moan
To the rocks, all alone;
From each hollow
Will follow
Some pitiful groan.

But, with silent disdain,
She requites all my pain!
To my mourning,
Returning
No answer again.
