The mournful shepherd: or, The torment of loving, and not being lov'd again. : A song made by a gentleman who dyed for his cruel mistris. No torment can be found, no greater pain then truly loving and not lov'd again; for thats a strange disease which racks the mind, still routs the judgement, and does reason blind: raises a civil vvar, distracts the soul, vvhilst fancy like a raging sea does ro[]ul [sic]: the lovers dreams of nothiug [sic] but strange charms, and often thinks his mistris in his arms; but waking finds he did embrace a shade; vvhich all his hopes with it he had convey'd. To a pleasant new tune, called Cou'd man his vvish obtain, &c. Play'd and sung at the King's Play-House.
