SONGS, SET TO MUSIC BY THE MOST EMINENT MASTERS: 26 by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: SINCE, MOGGY, I MUN BID ADIEU
Last Line: OUGHT TO BE WRETCHED EVER.
Subject(s): DEATH; FATE; SINGING & SINGERS; SOUL; DEAD, THE; DESTINY;

SINCE, Moggy, I mun bid adieu,
How can I help despairing?
Let cruel fate us still pursue,
There's nought more worth my caring.

'Twas she alone could calm my soul,
When racking thoughts did grieve me;
Her eyes my trouble could control,
And into joys deceive me.

Farewell, ye brooks; no more along
Your banks mun I be walking;
No more you'll hear my pipe or song,
Or pretty Moggy's talking.

But I by death an end will give
To grief, since we mun sever;
For who can after parting live,
Ought to be wretched ever.
