1. You spurn me though I've done no wrong,
Falsehood and lies from you now throng,

2. You shun all the excuses I prolong,
Many a sin pardon did belong.

3. Yet you seek sincere affection in me,
Can feigned love ever pleasure thee?

4. Nay, by God! Untrue shall I never be,
To a friend whose ways are glib and free.

5. If a friend parts with no cause to blame,
The choice to reunite is mine to claim.
