Editor: Will Pargeter (submitted 2012-02-06).   Score information: A4, 5 pages, 233 kB   Copyright: CPDL
Edition notes: Transcribed and vaguely extemporised by ear, because I wanted the score myself. All mistakes are, of course, intentional. Written down a Semi, so it will sound near baroque pitch even when played by a lazy Pianist. MusicXML source file(s) in compressed .mxl format.

Lost is my quiet for ever,
Lost is life's happiest part;
Lost all my tender endeavours,
To touch an insensible heart.

But tho' my Despair is past curing,
And much undeserv'd is my fate,
I'll show by a patient enduring
My love is unmov'd as her hate.
