The Innocent GAZER.
A SONG, Set by Mr. KING, &c.
Lovely
LUCINDA blame not me,
If on your beauteous looks I gaze;
How can I help it, when I see
Something so charming in your Face?
If on your beauteous looks I gaze;
How can I help it, when I see
Something so charming in your Face?
57
That like a bright unclowded Sky,
When in the Air the Sun-beams play,
It ravishes my wond'ring Eye,
And warms me with a pleasing Ray.
When in the Air the Sun-beams play,
It ravishes my wond'ring Eye,
And warms me with a pleasing Ray.
An Air so settled, so serene,
And yet so gay, and easie too,
On all our Plains I have not seen
In any other Nymph but you.
And yet so gay, and easie too,
On all our Plains I have not seen
In any other Nymph but you.
But Fate forbids me to design
The mighty Conquest of your breast,
And I had rather torture mine,
Than Rob you of one Minutes Rest.
The mighty Conquest of your breast,
And I had rather torture mine,
Than Rob you of one Minutes Rest.
