3
The Garland
The pride of ev'ry grove I chose,4
The dappled pink and blushing rose,
To deck my charming Chloe's hair!
5
Upon her brow the various wreath,
The flow'rs less blooming than her face,
Their scent less fragrant than her hair!
6
With Pleasures Have I Passed My Days
With pleasures have I pass'd my days,And ev'ry minute bless'd,
7
No wish disturb'd my rest.
Thus void of care my hours have flown,
8
But now, O Love, I own thy reign,
I find thee in my heart,
9
'Twas Daphne threw the dart,
I saw, I heard, I felt the flame,
For Daphne smil'd and spoke,
O Cupid, take another aim,
10
To Daphne let the dart be thrown,
And make her heart no more her own!
11
Give Me Thy Heart
12
Our hands in mutual bonds will join,
Propitious may our union prove,
What's life without the joys of love?
13
Admittance to obtain,
14
And bid him call again!
15
Our hands in mutual bonds will join,
Propitious may our union prove,
16
