Cease your funning

Language: English

Cease your funning, force or cunning,
Never shall my heart trepan;
All these sallies are but malice
To seduce my constant man.
'Tis most certain by their flirting
Women oft have envy shown,
Pleas'd to ruin other's wooing
Never happy with their own.


Input by Ferdinando Albeggiani
