SONG.
[Fair Delia while each sighing swain]
Fair Delia while each sighing swain
Whose heart your charms adores,
Fills with his tender vows the plain,
And favoring smiles implores:
Whose heart your charms adores,
Fills with his tender vows the plain,
And favoring smiles implores:
My Wishes varying from the rest
Demand a different boon,
And only ask this one request,
The mercy of a frown.
Demand a different boon,
And only ask this one request,
The mercy of a frown.
Ah! far from me those witching smiles
Those languid eyes remove,
Whose charms my senses might surprise,
And tempt my heart to Love;
Those languid eyes remove,
Whose charms my senses might surprise,
And tempt my heart to Love;
34
The chilling frowns of cold disdain
I'll patiently endure,
Content to bear a transient pain
My freedom to secure.
I'll patiently endure,
Content to bear a transient pain
My freedom to secure.
