The mournful shepherd: or Torment of loving, and not beiug [sic] 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 judgment, and does reason blind: raises a Civil War, distrasts the soul, whilst fancy like a raging sea does roul: the lovers dreams of nothing but strang charms. And often thinks his mistris in his arms; but waking finds he did embrace a shade; which all his hopes with it he had conveyd, to a pleasant new tune, called Could man his wish obtain, &c. Play'd and sung at the King's Play-House.
