Break heart at once and there's an end,
Thou all that Heaven could give,

But hold, I have a noble friend,

Yet, yet for him I'll live.

Fortune, who all her baleful spight

Not yet on Tom had tried,

Sent news, one rough, tempeftuous, night,
That his dear friend had died:
And thou too! muft I thee refign

Who honour loved fo well?
Would they had tolled inftead of thine
Tom Truelove's knell.
