THE MINUET.
SONG.—Sir Udolpho.
Beauty, whose form enchanting
Leaves no perfection wanting,
Her hand with gladness granting,
The minuet walks with me.
My toe so lightly pointing,
Such grace my every joint in,
With bliss her hopes annointing,
She melts with ecstacy.
Leaves no perfection wanting,
Her hand with gladness granting,
The minuet walks with me.
My toe so lightly pointing,
Such grace my every joint in,
With bliss her hopes annointing,
She melts with ecstacy.
Rosa, Matilda, Fanny,
I ne'er was scorn'd by any,
Though I have danc'd with many,
For partner each takes me.
Such graceful capers cutting,
Such curves my form I put in,
The mouth of envy shutting,
They melt with ecstacy.
I ne'er was scorn'd by any,
Though I have danc'd with many,
For partner each takes me.
Such graceful capers cutting,
Such curves my form I put in,
The mouth of envy shutting,
They melt with ecstacy.
