THE
Private ENCOUNTER
BETWEEN TWO
YOUNG LOVERS,
Being Sung in the last new PLAY, call'd,
The Married BEAU.

OH fye! what mean I foolish Maid,
In this remote and silent Shade,
To meet with you alone:
My Heart does with the Place combine,
And both are more your Friends then mine,
And both are more your Friends then mine.
Oh! oh! oh! I shall, I shall, I shall be undone,
Oh! oh! oh! oh! I shall be undone.

A savage Beast I would not fear,
Or should I meet with Villians here;
I to some Cave wou'd run:
But such inchanting Art you shew,
I cannot strive, I cannot go,
I cannot strive, I cannot go;
Oh! oh! oh! I shall, I shall, I shall be undone,
Oh! oh! oh! oh! I shall be undone.

Oh fye, leave off this foolish Fear,
For I am glad to meet you here,
And I must you injoy:
This silent Grove, and pleasant Shade,
Were for true Lovers Pastime made,
Were for true Lovers Pastime made;
Then oh! then do not, do not, do not me deny,
Oh! then, oh! then do not me deny.

Your Beauty can wild Monsters tame,
And likewise Villains Hearts inflame,
That they will not annoy:
Your Looks, Your Eyes have charm'd me so,
I have no power for to go,
I have no power for to go,
Come, come, come, I must, I must, I must thee enjoy,
Come, come, come, I must thee enjoy.

Ah! give your sweet Temptations o'er,
I'll touch those dangerous Lips no more,
What, must we yet fool on?
Ah! now I yield, ah! now I fall;
Ah! now I have no breath at all;
Ah! now I have no breath at all;
And now, now I am, I am, I am quite undone
Ah! now, now, now, I am quite undone.

'Tis none but you I do adore,
Nay, I must love you more and more,
Although for Love I die:
My Passion ever shall endure,
My Love shall still be firm and pure,
My Love shall still be firm and pure,
And, and, and in thy, in thy Arms I'll lie,
And, and, and in thy Arms I'll lie.
