[Ye Trees, and Flow'rs, I in my Transports cry'd]
Ye Trees, and Flow'rs, I in my Transports cry'd,
Where does Zelinda from her Strephon hide?
You are the Confidents of all her Cares;
With you she spends whole Days, whilst I'm in Tears.
Woe is me, wretched Man! if my Ingrate,
Had to me kept her Faith inviolate,
Why does she more delight in you, than me?
And why for Yours, avoid my Company?
Where does Zelinda from her Strephon hide?
You are the Confidents of all her Cares;
With you she spends whole Days, whilst I'm in Tears.
Woe is me, wretched Man! if my Ingrate,
Had to me kept her Faith inviolate,
Why does she more delight in you, than me?
And why for Yours, avoid my Company?
