Part 2 — "I LATELY VOWED, BUT 'TWAS IN HASTE"
Reading edition
I lately vowed, but 'twas in haste, That I no more would court The joys which seem when they are past As dull as they are short.
I oft to hate my mistress swear, But soon my weakness find: I make my oaths when she's severe, But break them when she's kind.
John Oldmixon [1673-1742]
