Song. The Maiden Blush.
VVhere
hast thou been Aurora bright?
With Bacchus revelling last Night?
And now the Clarret thou drank'st there,
I'th' tincture of thy cheeks appear.

Or thou art turned Gallant gay?
And wilt perhaps to Court to Day?
And for thy more admired grace
Hast painted thy enchanting face?
And wilt perhaps to Court to Day?
And for thy more admired grace
Hast painted thy enchanting face?
But Eliza has not revell'ing been
Nor meanes to be i'th' Presence seen,
And yet the same Vermilion
Her Rosie-tincted cheek is on.
Nor meanes to be i'th' Presence seen,
And yet the same Vermilion
Her Rosie-tincted cheek is on.
Or Morn doth blush to see, so far
Her selfe excell'd in hue by her,
Else sure carnation Heaven doth die
Her cheeks, or they bepaint the skie.
Her selfe excell'd in hue by her,
Else sure carnation Heaven doth die
Her cheeks, or they bepaint the skie.
