[Summer now its lustre shining]
Summer now its lustre shining
Like to Myra lovly maid
Youth & Beauty both combining
In their Richest suit arayd
Like to Myra lovly maid
Youth & Beauty both combining
In their Richest suit arayd
Joys unnumberd without measure
In possesion of such charms
Myra grant thy swain the pleasure
Make him happy in thy arms
In possesion of such charms
Myra grant thy swain the pleasure
Make him happy in thy arms
Take him to thy throbbing bosom
Make him happy while you may
Enjoy the flower while in its blossom
Time has wings & flies away
Make him happy while you may
Enjoy the flower while in its blossom
Time has wings & flies away
