ARIETTE.
Hark, Lucinda! to the wooing,
Murm'ring Turtles am'rous cooing,
Shelly Grotts their Loves rebound:
Streams along the Pebles trilling,
Hearts with trembling Pleasure filling,
Sweetly answer to the Sound.
Murm'ring Turtles am'rous cooing,
Shelly Grotts their Loves rebound:
Streams along the Pebles trilling,
Hearts with trembling Pleasure filling,
Sweetly answer to the Sound.
Twisted Boughs above combining.
Loving Joy around them twining,
Guard thee with a mingled Shade:
Purple Vi'lets, blushing Roses,
Od'rous Flow'rs in various Posies,
Dress thy Bosom and thy Head.
Loving Joy around them twining,
Guard thee with a mingled Shade:
Purple Vi'lets, blushing Roses,
Od'rous Flow'rs in various Posies,
Dress thy Bosom and thy Head.
See! their tender Beings flying!
Quickly fading, quickly dying!
Beauty ne'er was fram'd to last:
Let the Lover once advise thee,
To improve the Good that flies thee;
Soon, ah! soon the Season's past.
Quickly fading, quickly dying!
Beauty ne'er was fram'd to last:
Let the Lover once advise thee,
To improve the Good that flies thee;
Soon, ah! soon the Season's past.
Air with hollow Tempests swelling,
Gathering Clouds a Storm foretelling,
Shrowd in Night the fairest Day:
Springing Beauty, gayly blooming,
Sees not lowry Winter's coming,
To December change her May.

Springing Beauty, gayly blooming,
Sees not lowry Winter's coming,
To December change her May.
