THE MUSICAL CHAMBER.
I trust that my friends will remember,
Whilst I these my pleasures display;
Resort to my musical chamber,
The laurel crown'd desert in May.
Whilst I these my pleasures display;
Resort to my musical chamber,
The laurel crown'd desert in May.
Resort to this chamber at leisure,
Attend it by night and by day;
To feast on the dainties of pleasure
Which cannot be stinted in May.

To feast on the dainties of pleasure
Which cannot be stinted in May.
This chamber is both pleasing and moral,
A chamber both lov'ly and gay,
In the shade of a ne'er fading laurel,
Whose grace in December is May.
A chamber both lov'ly and gay,
In the shade of a ne'er fading laurel,
Whose grace in December is May.
Abounding with every fine story
Whilst time passes hurrying away;
This place is a banquet of glory,
Which rings with the ditties of May.

The chamber of Chatham and Dolly,
A place of Comical play;
Gave place unto Lovell's fine folly,
The birds and sweet flowers of May.

Here Venus attends with her lovers,
Here Floras their suitors betray,
And uncommon secrets discover,
Which break from the bosom of May.

And uncommon secrets discover,
Which break from the bosom of May.
Here ever young Hebe sits smiling,
The wonders of youth to portray;
Excluding old age from defeating
The lads and the lasses of May.

Call in little stranger one minute,
Your joy will reward your delay;
Come feast with the lark and the linnet,
And drink of the waters of May.

Walk in little mistress, be steady,
You're welcome a visit to pay;
All things in the chamber are ready,
Resolve to be married in May.
