Song: ‘False though she be to me and love’

FALSE though she be to me and love,

I ’ll ne’er pursue revenge;

For still the charmer I approve,

Though I deplore her change.

In hours of bliss we oft have met,

They could not always last;

And though the present I regret

I ’m grateful for the past.
