spires with _Sylvia_ to oppress, The Heart he should relieve. The God that should reward my Pain, Makes _Sylvia_ more my Foe: As She encreases in Disdain, He makes my Passion grow: And must I, must I still admire, Those Eyes that cause my Grief? 'Tis just, since I my self conspire Against my own Relief. _A_ SONG, _Set by Mr._ ROBERT KING. All own the Young _Sylvia_ is fatally Fair; All own the Young _Sylvia_ is pretty; Confess her good Nature, and easie soft Air, Nay more, that's She's wanton and witty. Yet all the keen Arrows at _Damon_ still cast, Cou'd never, cou'd never, his quiet destroy, 'Till the cunning _Coquett_, shot me flying at last; _By a Jene say, Jene say, quoy_, _By a Jene say, Jene say, quoy._ So tho' the young _Sylvia_ were not very Fair, Tho' she were but indifferently pretty; Much wanting _Aurelia's_, or _Caelia's_ soft Air, But not the dull sence of the City: Yet still the dear Creature wou'd please without doubt, And give me abundance of Joy; Since all that is missing is plainly made out, _By a Jene say, Jene say quoy._ _A_ SONG, _Set by Mr._ FRANK. [Music] A Swain in despair, Cryed Women ne'er trust, Alass they are all Unkind or unjust. A Nymph who was by, Soon thus did reply; The Men we all find More false and unkind. Except me he cryed, And me She replyed, Then try me said he, I dare not said she: The Swain did pursue, Each alter'd their Mind: She vow'd He was true, He swore She was kind. _A_ SONG. _Set by Mr._ AKEROYDE. [Music] Wo'as me poor Lass! what mun I do? Gin I did my bonny _Sawney_ slight, He now gangs a blither Lass to woo, And I alene poor Lass ligs ev'ry Night. Curse on Fickleness and Pride, By which we silly Women are undone: What my _Sawney_ begg'd and I deny'd Alass! I long to grant, but now he's gone. When he was kind I made a Strife, Yet I then deny'd with mickle Woe; For he su'd as gin, he begg'd for Life, And almost dy'd poor Lad! when I said no: Well I keen'd, he woo'd to wed, Yet fear'd to own, I lov'd the canny Loon; Ah would he have stay'd he might have sped, Waa's me! why would my _Sawney_ gang so soon. _A_ SONG. [Music] Richest Gift of lavish Nature, Matchless darling of my Heart; Ah!
