SONG.
[Sweet seducer! blandly smiling]
Sweet seducer! blandly smiling;
Charming still, and still beguiling!
Oft I swore to love thee never,
Yet I love thee more than ever!
Charming still, and still beguiling!
Oft I swore to love thee never,
Yet I love thee more than ever!
Why that little wanton blushing,
Glancing eye, and bosom flushing?
Flushing warm, and wily glancing—
All is lovely, all entrancing!
Glancing eye, and bosom flushing?
Flushing warm, and wily glancing—
All is lovely, all entrancing!
Turn away those lips of blisses—
I am poison'd by thy kisses!
Yet, again, ah! turn them to me:
Ruin's sweet, when they undo me!
I am poison'd by thy kisses!
Yet, again, ah! turn them to me:
Ruin's sweet, when they undo me!
Oh! be less, be less enchanting;
Let some little grace be wanting;
Let my eyes, when I'm expiring,
Gaze awhile without admiring!
Let some little grace be wanting;
Let my eyes, when I'm expiring,
Gaze awhile without admiring!
