II. Time, I dare thee to discover Such a youth, and fuch a lover; Oh! so true, so kind was he! Damon was the pride of nature, Charming in his every feature; Damon liv'd alone for me; Melting kifles, Murmuring bliffes: Who fo liv'd and lov'd as we! III. Never shall we curfe the morning, Never blefs the night returning, To befriend me; Love and Damon are no more. A SON G. I. YLVIA the fair, in the bloom of fifteen, SYLV 14 the fent, warmth, as me lay on the green: She had heard of a pleasure, and fomething the guest By the towzing, and tumbling, and touching her breast: She saw the men eager, but was at a loss, What they meant by their fighing, and kiffing fo clofe; And And panting and wishing, And fighing and kiffing, And fighing and kiffing so close. Ah! fhe cry'd; ah for a languishing maid, And clafping and twining, And panting and wishing, And fighing and kiffing, And fighing and kiffing fo clofe. Cupid in shape of a swain did appear, He faw the fad wound, and in pity drew near; And clafping and twining, And panting and wishing, And fighing and kiffing fo close. VOL. II.

Choir of bright beauties in spring did appear, To choose a May-lady to govern the year; All the nymphs were in white, and the fhepherds 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, III. Forbear your addresses, and court us no more ; A FAIR, fweet and young, receive a prize for your victorious eyes: From crouds, whom at your feet you see, e! O pity, and distinguish me As I from thousand beauties more II. Your face for conqueft was defign'd, III. No graces can your form improve, H1 A S O N G.

So gentle a love, so fervent a fire, That treasure, that treasure alone, Give me in poffeffing So matchlefs a bleffing; All my ambition; If e'er So faithful a lover, So real a flame, RONDE. |
