XII. SET BY MR. SMITH.

SINCE my words, tho

ne'er fo tender,

With fincerest truth expreít, Cannot make your heart furrender, Nor fo much as warm your breast;

II.

What will move the springs of Nature?
What will make you think me true?
Tell me, thou mysterious creature,
Tell poor Strephon what will do.

XIII. SET BY MR. DE FESCH.

OVE! inform thy faithful creature
How to keep his fair one's heart;

Muft it be by truth of nature,
Or by poor diffembling art?
Tell the fecret, fhew the wonder,
How we both may gain our ends;
I am loft if we're alunder,
Ever tortur'd it we're friends.

XIV. SET BY MR. SMITH.

NCE I was unconfin'd and free,
was

ONCE

Enjoying sweetest liberty,
And roving at my will.

Deceiv'd by Phillis' looks and fmiles,
Into her fnares I run;

Victoria fhews me all her wiles.

Which yet I dare not shun.

Nor will it, if I right forecast,
To either wholly yield;

I find the time approaches faft
When both muft quit the field.

XV. SET BY MR. DE FESCH.

AREWEL Amynta, we muft part;
The charm has loft its pow'r

Which held fo faft my captiv'd heart
Until this fatal hour.

II.

Hadft thou not thus my love abus'd,
And us'd me ne'er fo ill,

Thy cruelty I had excus'd,

And I had lov'd thee still.

III.

But know, my foul disdain'd thy sway,
And scorns thy charms and thee,
To which each flutt'ring coxcomb may
As welcome be as me..

IV.

Think in what perfect bliss you reign'd,
How lov'd before thy fall,

And now, alas! how much difdain'd
By me, and fcorn'd by all.

V.

Yet thinking of each happy hour.
Which I with thee have spent,
So robs my rage of all its pow'r,
That I almost relent.

VI,

But pride will never let me bow;
No more thy charms can move;
Yet thou art worth my pity now,
Because thou hadft my love.

XVI. SET BY MR. SMITH.

CCEPT, my Love, as true a heart
As ever lover gave;

'Tis free (it vows) from any art,

And proud to be your flave.

II.

Then take it kindly, as 'twas meant,

And let the giver live,

Who with it would the world have fent

Had it been his to give.

And that Dorinda may not fear

I e'er will prove untrue,

My vows fhall, ending with the year,
With it begin a new.

ANNY blushes when I woo her,
And with kindly chiding eyes

Faintly fays I fhall undo her;
Faintly, O, forbear! the cries.

II.

But her breafts while I am preffing,

While to her's my lips I join,

Warm'd, fhe feems to tafte the bleffing,

And her kiffes anfwer mine.

III.

Undebauch'd by rules of honour,

Innocence with Nature charms;
One bids gently pufh me from her,
Th' other take me in her arms.

INCE we your husband daily fee
So jealous out of feafon,
Phillis, let and I agree

To make him fo with reafon.

My burning paffion cool;

Let me at least in thee have part

With thy infipid fool.

V.

Let him by night his joys purfue,
And blunder in the dark,
While I by day enjoying you,
Can fee to hit the mark.

XIX. SET BY MR. C. R.

DHILLIS, give this humour over,
too long have time abus'd

I fhall turn an errant rover
If the favour's ftill refus'd.

All the swains on you attending
Show how much your charms deferve;
But, mifer-like, for fear of fpending
You amidst your plenty starve.

VI.

While a thousand freer laffes,

Who their youth and charms employ,
Tho' your beauty theirs furpaffes,
Live in far more perfect joy.
