W:2.No cruel fair shall ever move
W:  My injur'd heart again to love;
W:  Thro' distant climates I must rove,
W:     Since Jeany she has left me, O.
W:  Ye pow'rs above, I to your care
W:  Resign my faithless, lovely fair;
W:  Your choicest blessings be her share.
W:     Tho' she has ever left me, O.
