Eyes surpriz'd my Heart,
And first inform'd me how to Love;
Then Pleasure did invade each Part,
Yet to conceal my Flame I strove.
As _Indians_ at a distance pay,
Their awful reverence to the Sun:
And dare not 'till he'll bless the Day,
Seem to have any thing begun:
Thus I rest, 'till your Smiles invite,
My Looks and Thoughts I do constrain;
And tremble to express Delight,
Unless you please to ease my Pain.
_A_ SONG _in the Comedy call'd, the_ Wife's Excuse. _By_ H. P.
[Music]
_Corinna_ I excuse thy Face,
Those erring Lines, which Nature drew;
When I reflect that ev'ry Grace,
Thy Mind adorns, is just and true:
But oh! thy Wit what God hast sent,
Surprising, Airy, unconfin'd;
Some wonder sure _Apollo_ meant,
And shot himself into thy Mind.
_The_ Sailors SONG _in the Subscription_ Musick, _Set by Mr._ Weldon,
_Sung by Mr._ Dogget.
[Music]
Just coming from Sea, our Spouses and we,
We Punch it, we Punch it, we Punch it,
We Punch it, we Punch it a Board with Couragio;
We Sing Laugh and Cling, and in Hammocks we swing,
And Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey my brave Boys Bonviago:
We Sing Laugh and Cling, and in Hammocks we swing,
We Sing Laugh and Cling, and in Hammocks we swing,
And Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, my brave Boys Bonviago.
_The Serenading_ SONG _in the_ Constant Couple, _or a Trip to the_
Jubilee; _Written by Mr._ G. FARQUHAR, _Set by Mr._ D. Purcell, _Sung
by Mr._ FREEMAN.
[Music]
Thus _Damon_ knock'd at _Caelia's_ Door,
Thus _Damon_ knock'd at _Caelia's_ Door,
He sigh'd and begg'd, and wept and swore,
The sign was so, She answer'd no,
The sign was so, She answer'd no, no, no, no.
Again he sigh'd, again he pray'd,
No _Damon_ no, no, no, no, no, I am afraid;
Consider _Damon_ I'm a Maid,
Consider _Damon_ no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm a Maid.
At last his Sighs and Tears made way,
She rose and softly turn'd the Key;
Come in said she, but do not, do not stay,
I may conclude, you will be rude;
But if you are you may:
I may conclude, you will be rude,
But if you are you may.
_A 'Squire's Choice; or the Coy Lady's Beauty by him admir'd._
[Music]
The World is a Bubble and full of Decoys,
Her glittering Pleasures are flattering Toys;
The which in themselves no true Happiness brings,
Rich Rubies, nay Diamonds, Chains, Jewels and Rings:
