Sylvia, now your scorn give over
Language: English
Sylvia, now your scorn give over, Lest you lose a faithful lover; If this humour you pursue, Farewell love, and Sylvia too. Long have I been unregarded, Sighs and tears still unrewarded; If this does with you agree, Troth, good Madam, 'twon't with me.
