Had I a cave on some wild, distant shore,
the winds howl to the waves' dashing roar;
There I weep my woes,
There seek my lost repose,
grief my eyes should close,
Ne'er to wake more.
of womankind, canst thou declare,
All thy fond plighted vows—fleeting as air!
To thy new lover hie,
Laugh o'er perjury,
Then in thy bosom try
What peace is there!
