Susan: Far, far from me my lover flies,

Far, far from me my lover flies

Far, far from me my lover flies,
A faithless lover, he,
In vain my tears, in vain my sighs
No longer true to me
He seeks, he seeks another
No longer true to me,
Lie still my heart, no longer grieve,
No pangs to him betray,
Who taught you these sad sighs to heave,
Then laughing went away,
To seek, to seek another,
No longer true to me.

Acknowledgments
Notes "Far, far from me my lover flies" is a very popular a song from the English farce, The Weathercock, by John Till Allingham (c. 1776–1812), produced at Drury Lane in 1805, although an arrangement published by G. Willig (ca. 1808) lists Matthew Peter King (1773 - 1823) as the composer. It appears in many songsters throughout the nineteenth century.
