All the joys he drain'd before:
Death, come end me

To befriend me;

Love and Damon are no more.

A SON G.

I.

YLVIA the fair, in the bloom of fifteen,

Felt an innocent warmth, as he lay on the green : She had heard of a pleasure, and fomething the guest By the towzing, and tumbling, and touching her breast : She faw the men eager, but was at a lofs,

What they meant by their fighing, and kissing so close ;
By their praying and whining,

And clasping and twining,
And panting and wishing,

And fighing and kiffing,

And fighing and kiffing so close.
II.

Ah! fhe cry'd; ah for a languishing maid,
In a country of Chriftians, to die without aid!
Not a Whig, or a Tory, or Trimmer at least,
Or a Protestant parfon, or Catholic priest,
T'inftruct a young virgin, that is at a loss,
What they meant by their fighing, and kiffing so close !
By their praying and whining,

And clafping and twining,

And panting and wishing,

And fighing and kiffing,

And fighing and kiffing so close.

Cupid

III.

Cupid in shape of a swain did appear,

He saw the fad wound, and in pity drew near;
Then fhow'd her his arrow, and bid her not fear;
For the pain was no more than a maiden may bear:
When the balm was infus'd, fhe was not at a lofs,
What they meant by their fighing, and kissing so close;
By their praying and whining,

And clafping and twining,
And panting and wifhing,

And fighing and kiffing,

And fighing and kiffing so close.

THE LADY's SONG.

I.

A Choir of bright beauties in fpring did appear,

To choose a May-lady to govern the year;

All the nymphs were in white, and the thepherds in

green;

The garland was given, and Phyllis was queen:

But Phyllis refus'd it, and fighing did fay,

I'll not wear a garland while Pan is away.

II.

While Pan, and fair Syrinx, are fled from our fhore,

The Graces are banish'd, and Love is no more :
The foft God of pleasure, that warm'd our defires,
Has broken his bow, and extinguish'd his fires:
And vows that himself, and his mother, will mourn,
Till Pan and fair Syrinx in triumph return.

III. Forbear

III.

Forbear your addreffes, and court us no more;
For we will perform what the Deity swore :
But if you dare think of deferving our charms,

Away with your sheephooks, and take to your arms : Then laurels and myrtles your brows shall adorn, When Pan, and his fon, and fair Syrinx, return.

VII.

A SON G.

I.

FAIR, fweet, and young, receive a prize

Referv'd for your victorious eyes :

From crouds, whom at your feet you fee,
O pity, and distinguish me!

As I from thoufand beauties more
Diftinguish you, and only you adore.

II.

Your face for conquest was defign'd,
Your every motion charms my mind;
Angels, when you your filence break,
Forget their hymns, to hear you speak;
But when at once they hear and view,
Are loth to mount, and long to stay with you.
IN.

No graces can your form improve,
But all are loft, unless you love;
While that sweet paffion you difdain,
Your veil and beauty are in vain :
In pity then prevent my, fate,

For after dying all reprieve 's too late.

A SONG.

A SON G.

VIII.

HIGH ftate and honours to others impart,
But give me your heart:

That treasure, that treasure alone,

I beg for my own.

So gentle a love, fo fervent a fire,
My foul does inspire ;
That treasure, that treasure alone,

I beg for my own.
Your love let me crave;
Give me in poffeffing

So matchless a bleffing;

That empire is all I would have.

Love's my petition,
All my ambition;
If e'er you discover
So faithful a lover,
So real a flaine,
I'll die, I'll die.

So give up my game.

Wretched I, to love in vain!
Kifs me, dear, before my dying;
Kifs me once, and ease my pain!
II.

Sighing to himself, and crying,
Wretched I, to love in vain!
Ever fcorning and denying

To reward your faithful swain:
Kifs me, dear, before my dying;
Kifs me once, and ease my pain!
III.

Ever fcorning, and denying

To reward your faithful fwain. Cloe, laughing at his crying,

Told him, that he lov'd in vain : Kifs me, dear, before my dying; Kifs me once, and ease my pain! IV.

Cloe, laughing at his crying,

Told him, that he lov'd in vain : But, repenting, and complying, When he kiss'd, the kiss'd again: Kifs'd him up before his dying; Kifs'd him up, and eas'd his pain.
