henry purcell - when i have often heard young maids complaining lyrics

when i have often heard young maids complaining
that when men promise most they most deceive
the i thought none of them worthy of my gaining;
and what they swore, resolv’d ne’re to believe
but when so humbly he made his addresses
with looks so soft, and with language so kind
i thought it sin to refuse his caresses;
nature o’ercame, and i soon chang’d my mind
should he employ all his wit in deceiving
stretch his invention, and artfully feign;
i find such charms, such true joy in believing
i’ll have the pleasure, let him have the pain
if he proves perjur’d, i shall not be cheated
he may deceive himself, but never me;
’tis what i look for, and shan’t be defeated
for i’ll be as false and inconstant as he
a thousand thousand ways we’ll find
to entertain the hours;
no two shall e’re be known so kind
no life so blest as ours
