I.
[Strephonetta, why d' ye fly me]
Strephonetta, why d' ye fly me,
With such rigour in your eyes?
Oh! 'tis cruel to deny me,
Since your charms I so much prize.
With such rigour in your eyes?
Oh! 'tis cruel to deny me,
Since your charms I so much prize.
But I plainly see the reason,
Why in vain I you pursu'd;
Her to gain 'twas out of season,
Who before the chaplain woo'd.
Why in vain I you pursu'd;
Her to gain 'twas out of season,
Who before the chaplain woo'd.
