3. SONG.
[LASSES, haste your hands to show me]
LODOWICK.
LASSES, haste your hands to show me,Haste, for mother Bedra's here:
5
What my lips unfold revere.
None my magic pow'rs deny:
'Tis not a lie,
For here am I;
If you doubt me, come and try.
I by secret spells discover
What the stars on earth intend:
Have you lost a faithless lover,
Have you found a perjur'd friend,
I can make them pine and die:
'Tis not a lie, &c.
What the stars on earth intend:
Have you lost a faithless lover,
Have you found a perjur'd friend,
I can make them pine and die:
'Tis not a lie, &c.
Miss, this charm gives information
Who the silver goblet stole;
If you've torn your reputation,
Here's a spell can mend the hole.
There's a secret!—Won't you buy?
'Tis not a lie, &c.
Who the silver goblet stole;
If you've torn your reputation,
Here's a spell can mend the hole.
There's a secret!—Won't you buy?
'Tis not a lie, &c.
But be quick! three hours when counted,
(And, alas! time flies so soon;)
Must I, on a broom-stick mounted,
Take my flight beyond the moon!
Then too late you'll grieve and sigh:
'Tis not a lie, &c.
(And, alas! time flies so soon;)
Must I, on a broom-stick mounted,
Take my flight beyond the moon!
Then too late you'll grieve and sigh:
'Tis not a lie, &c.
