Pray, Fair One, Be Kind

Come Fair one be kind, you never shall find,
   A Fellow so fit for a Lover,
Come Fair one be kind, you never shall find,
   A Fellow so fit for a Lover,
The World shall view, my Passion for you,
The World shall view, my Passion for you,
   But never your Passion discover.
   But never your Passion discover.
