SONG for the third ACT.
I.
Love's Delights were past Expressing
Cou'd our happy Visions last.
Pity 'tis they fly so fast;
Pity 'tis so short a Blessing.
Cou'd our happy Visions last.
Pity 'tis they fly so fast;
Pity 'tis so short a Blessing.
Love's Delights were past expressing
Cou'd our happy Visions last;
Tide's of Pleasure in possessing
Sweetly Flow, but soon are past.
Cou'd our happy Visions last;
Tide's of Pleasure in possessing
Sweetly Flow, but soon are past.
Love's Delights, &c.
II.
Calms in Love are fleeting Treasure,
Only Visit and Away;
Hasty Blessing we enjoy,
Tedious Hours of Grief we Measure:
Only Visit and Away;
Hasty Blessing we enjoy,
Tedious Hours of Grief we Measure:
Calms in Love are fleeting Treasure,
Only Visit and Away,
Sighs and Tears fore-run the Pleasure,
Jealous Rage succeeds the Joy.
Only Visit and Away,
Sighs and Tears fore-run the Pleasure,
Jealous Rage succeeds the Joy.
Calms in Love, &c.
