SCENE III.
A Chamber.Enter Clarinda and Primrose.
Clarinda.
Oh gen'rous Robin Hood! thy Care demands
Eternal Obligation at my Hands—
Do thou, dear Primrose, seek our foolish Squire;
Tell the pert Wretch I him alone admire:
Let him with all his Speed our Steps pursue,
Else I am ever ravish'd from his View.
[Ex. Prim.
AIR.
Happy Scene of gay Delight!
Warm my Breast, and sooth my Care;
Love will e'er assert his Right;
Then let Lovers ne'er despair.
Bring me Lilies, bring me Roses,
Myrtle Wreaths and blooming Posies:
Haste you, Nymphs, and hither bring
All the Trophies of the Spring.
Warm my Breast, and sooth my Care;
Love will e'er assert his Right;
Then let Lovers ne'er despair.
Bring me Lilies, bring me Roses,
Myrtle Wreaths and blooming Posies:
Haste you, Nymphs, and hither bring
All the Trophies of the Spring.
Baleful Cypress cast aside,
(Emblem of despairing Love)
And the weeping Willow hide
Near the inauspicious Grove.
Bring me Lilies, bring me Roses,
Myrtle Wreaths and blooming Posies:
Haste you, Nymphs, and hither bring
All the Trophies of the Spring.
(Emblem of despairing Love)
And the weeping Willow hide
Near the inauspicious Grove.
Bring me Lilies, bring me Roses,
Myrtle Wreaths and blooming Posies:
