Lyrics

Ay fond kiss, and then we sever; Ay farewell, alas for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warrin' sighs and groans I'll wage thee Who shall say that fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him: Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me; Dark despair around benights me Fare thee well, thou first and fairest! Fare thee well, my best and dearest! Thine be like, joy and treasure Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure! Had we never lov'd so kindly Had we never lov'd so blindly! Nor never met nor never parted We would never be so broken-hearted Ay fond kiss, and then we sever! Ay farewell, alas, for ever! Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warrin' sighs and groans I'll wage thee
