Thread Name: Lyr Add: Meeting's a Pleasure
Subject: Meeting's a pleasure
Meeting's a Pleasure,
    but parting's a grief
An Unconstant Lover
    is worse than a thief
A thief he can robb me
    and take what I have
But an Unconstant Lover
    will bring me to the Grave

Commencement of "The Young Man's Lamentation", 1690's. Douce ballads 2(261b)

Sound familiar?
