And to that Wish be true: Your Oaten Pipes cou'd please, But _Jockey_ then was kind; Your bonny Tunes may cease, The Lad has chang'd his Mind. _A_ SONG. _Set by Mr._ FRANK. [Music] Ere _Phillis_ with her looks did kill, My Heart resisting, My Heart resisting them was ill; Now in its Wounds it finds a Cure, When most they bleed, I least endure. For tho' 'tis Death those looks to meet, There's Life in dying at her feet; Kill _Phillis_ then, kill with your Eyes, If you let _Strephon_ live he dyes. _A_ SONG. _Set by Mr._ KING. [Music] Not your Eyes _Melania_ move me, Not your flowring Charms or Wit; Not your daily Vows to love me, Make my easy Soul submit.

[Music] Then come kind _Damon_, come away, To _Cynthia's_ power advance: The _Sylvians_ they shall pipe and play, And we'll lead up, and we'll lead up, And we'll lead up the Dance: The _Sylvians_ they shall pipe and play, And we'll lead up, and we'll lead up, And we'll lead up the Dance; The _Sylvians_ they, _&c._ Smile then with a Beam Divine, We'll be blest if you but shine; Happy then our Pains and Toils, Wit only lives when Beauty smiles: Happy then our Pains and Toils, Wit only lives, Wit only lives, When Beauty smiles; Wit only lives, _&c._ _The Soldiers return from the Wars, or the Maids and Widdows Rejoycing._ _Tune Page_ 278. At the Change as I was walking, I heard a Discourse of Peace; The People all were a Talking, That the tedious Wars will cease: And if it do prove but true, The Maids will run out of their Houses, _To see the Troopers all come Home,_ _And the Grenadiers with their Drum a Drum Drum,_ _Then the Widdows shall all have Spouses._ The Scarlet colour is fine, Sir, All others it doth excel; The Trooper has a Carbine, Sir, That will please the Maidens well: And when it is Cock'd and Prim'd, Sir, The Maids will run out of their Houses, _To see the T
