A SONG.
DAMON.I
Sylvia , say,When Damon leaves you,
How it grieves you?
Sylvia, say,
How do you pass the Day?
If your Share
Of Solitude and Care
Does with mine compare,
'Tis dreadful as Despair!

II
Damon, whyD'ye question
My Vexation?
Damon, why
D'ye think I can have Joy?
When you're gone,
Accompany'd by none,
I, like the Turtle, moan,
When her lov'd Mate is flown.
