NANNYO.
While some for Pleasure pawn their Health,
'Twixt Lais and the Bagnio,
I'll save my self, and without Stealth,
Kiss and caress my Nanny—O.
She bids more fair t'ingage a Jove,
Than Leda did or Danae —O;
Were I to paint the Queen of Love,
None else shou'd sit but Nanny—O.
'Twixt Lais and the Bagnio,
I'll save my self, and without Stealth,
Kiss and caress my Nanny—O.
She bids more fair t'ingage a Jove,
Than Leda did or Danae —O;
Were I to paint the Queen of Love,
None else shou'd sit but Nanny—O.
How joyfully my Spirits rise,
When dancing she moves finely—O,
I guess what Heav'n is by her Eyes,
Which sparkle so divinely O.
Attend my Vow, ye Gods, while I
Breath in the blest Britannio,
None's Happiness I shall envy,
As long's ye grant me Nanny—O.

CHORUS.
My bonny, bonny Nanny—O,My loving charming Nanny—O,
I care not tho the world do know
How dearly I love Nanny—O.
