[HAMILTON.] Go plaintive sounds! and to the fair But she, methinks, is list'ning now Yes, plaintive sounds! yet, yet delay, Let that gay minute pass away, Yes, plaintive sounds! no longer crost, K Yes, plaintive sounds! she now is yours, Cease, plaintive sounds! your task is done; That anxious tender air Proves o'er her heart the conquest won; I see you melting there. Return, ye smiles, return again, I take no outward shew amiss, Still let her smiles each shepherd bless, WHEN HEN charming Teraminta sings, Now would listen, now would kiss ; Till, by her breath repuls'd, they fly, [ROCHESTER.] · My dear mistress has a heart, Soft as those kind looks she gave me, When with love's resistless art, And her eyes, she did enslave me : But her constancy's so weak, Melting joys about her move, And her lips can arm with kisses; She's my delight, all mankind's wonder, But my jealous heart would break Should we live one day asunder. [DORSET.] LET the ambitious favour find In courts and empty noise, Let fools and knaves grow rich and great And the world think 'em wise, Whilst I lie dying at her feet, And all that world despise. Let conquering kings new trophies raise,' And melt in court delights, Her eyes can give me brighter days, [SHEFFIELD, DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.] FROM all uneasy passions free, Safe from your eyes I fear'd no griefs, but then I found no joys. Amidst a thousand kind desires Which beauty moves, and love inspires, No heart so soft as mine can bear. Such are your charms, 'Tis worth a life to die within your arms. |
