SCENE VII.

DELIA.
Strephon alone cou'd thus affect me here,
No longer will I diffident appear.
AIR.
When Love inspires the female Heart,
When through each Vein the trickling Smart,
Its pleasing Course pursues,
Tho' Custom bids our Sex be shy,
When Virtue prompts us to comply,
The home-felt mutual Bliss to try;
How can we long refuse?

RECITATIVE.

One wins my Soul, the other makes me laugh.
