The Faithful Young Man & Constant Maid; OR, The Unexpressable Love between sweet WILLIAM and fair ELINOR. To the Tune of, The Plowman's Health This may be Printed. R. P. WE will leave all the thoughts of the world for a while and in this sweet Grove an hour beguile, We will ever resolve to be constant and true And Innocent joys we will now renew, To my Fair pretty Elinor faithful I'll prove, If beauteous young Elinor me will love; To my fair pretty Elinor, faithful i'll prove, if, etc. I will love my sweet William above all mankind, And ever be true, and at all times kind, All young Lovers hereafter shall learn by us two, To be always constant, and always true, No Fortune shall make me, from thee ere depart And to my sweet William i'll give my Heart; No Fortune shall make me from thee ere depart, And, etc. No Youth to a Beauty more constant shall be, Then I will be always, (fair maid) to thee No Fortune or Fate, shall extinguish this Fire, Nor no other Beauty create desire, 'Tis only fair Elinor that I will love And ever to her will I constant prove. 'Tis only fair Elinor that I will love, and ever, etc. When Marriage shall bring me into thy soft Arms, How happy shall I be in thy charms? How happy each day, and how happy each night? The day bringing Pleasure, the night Delight. I shall then be happy all days of my Life, Possessing all joys in a virtuous Wife, I shall then be happy all days of my Life, Possessing, etc. We will leave this lewd World to its wretched Estate, And now we will love before 'tis too sare, Each Grove, and each Fountain a witness shall prove, How dearly we'll live, and how well we'll Love. The Pleasures of Lovers we here shall obtain, And after we shall in Elysium reign; The Pleasures of Lovers we here shall obtain, And, etc. If lovely fair Maids will resolve to be coy They lose those sweet minutes they might enjoy, If Beauty, to Beauty, will only be kind, Young Maids to themselves must be then confined, And Lovers but vainly those Beauties do serve; But Maidens may give what Men don't deserve, And Lovers but vainly those Beauties do serve, But, etc. Then let us enjoy while our Passions are strong A minute's delay will appear too long, Though Beauty is lovely and always does please, 'Tis kindness that only can Flames appease, 'Tis kindness that always creates a desire, And is the sweet Fuel to Cupid's Fire; 'Tis kindness that always creates a desire. And, etc. Fair Elinor thus let us Pleasures pursue, And let us (like Turtles) be ever true, That young Men & Maidens our praise may proclaim And by our example may live in Fame, That Ages hereafter may learn for to prove, More true and more constant, and always Love, That Ages hereafter may learn to prove, More True and Constant, and always Love.
