A SONG,
Set by Mr. Hart, Servant to his Majesty.
As gazing on that lovely charming Face,
My Eys survey the Inchanted Place;
There, there, methinks, I see
The God of Love, in all his Gallantry,
And Troops of lesser Deities attending by.
My Eys survey the Inchanted Place;
There, there, methinks, I see
The God of Love, in all his Gallantry,
And Troops of lesser Deities attending by.
While from that glorious Field of mighty Love
Cupids in aiery Forms do move,
And subtily conspire
To strengthen Passion, and enrage Desire;
Still conquering ev'ry Heart, or setting it on Fire.
Cupids in aiery Forms do move,
And subtily conspire
53
Still conquering ev'ry Heart, or setting it on Fire.
Mine, by my unresisting Eyes betray'd,
And vanquish'd, willingly obey'd;
Nor do I wish to be
Again Possessor of my Liberty;
No, Phillis, no, I love in you ev'n Tyranny.
And vanquish'd, willingly obey'd;
Nor do I wish to be
Again Possessor of my Liberty;
No, Phillis, no, I love in you ev'n Tyranny.
