SONG.

HEN Fanny blooming fair

First caught my ravish'd fight, Struck with her shape and air,

I felt a ftrange delight: Whilft eagerly I gaz'd, Admiring ev'ry part, And ev'ry feature prais'd, She stole into my heart.

[blocks in formation]

What flames my nerves invade,

When I behold the breaft Of that too charming maid Rife, fuing to be prefs'd!

Venus round Fanny's waist,
Has her own Ceftus bound,
With guardian Cupids grac'd,

Who dance the circle round.
How happy muft he be,

Who fhall her zone unloofe !

That blifs to all, but me,

May heaven and she refuse.

SONG.

W Henever, Chloe, I begin

Your heart, like mine, to move,

You tell me of the crying fin

Of unchafte lawless love.

How can that paffion be a fin,
Which gave to Chloe birth?
How can those joys but be divine,

Which make a heaven on earth?

Το

To wed, mankind the priests trepann'd,

By fome fly fallacy,

And difobey'd God's great command,
Increase and multiply.

You fay that love's a crime; content:
Yet this allow you must,

More joy's in heav'n if one repent,
Than over ninety juft.

Sin then, dear girl, for heaven's fake,

Repent and be forgiven;
Bless me, and by repentance make
A holy day in heav'n.
