XIV. Irish Howl.
No Power on Earth can e'er divide
The Knot that by true Love is ty'd,
For when a Woman's Love is fix'd,
There is no intruding betwixt.
Oh! oh, ray, oh Amborah—oh, oh, &c.
The Knot that by true Love is ty'd,
For when a Woman's Love is fix'd,
There is no intruding betwixt.
Oh! oh, ray, oh Amborah—oh, oh, &c.
Then witness all ye Pow'rs above,
Sir R--- F--- I dearly love;
And will my Mind on him employ,
Who shall continue my sweetest Joy.
Oh! oh, ray, oh Amborah—oh, oh, &c.

So here my Opera I do end,
With loving of my dearest Friend;
And beg that he'd not me forget,
Nor think that I have him quite left.
