An Excellent New SONG,
OF THE
Two Happy LOVERS:
OR,
The Young Man and Maids Constancy.
To an excellent New Play-house Tune, much in Request.
|
I.
|
FOnd Boy what dost thou mean, thus my Heart to sur-prize;
|
And make me love another whilst my Celia dies?
|
My Celia is fair, and my Heart doth retain;
|
But Oh, when I see Amintor, I'm ravish'd again.
|
Then shoot thy Kind Dart, let thy Heart be my Prize:
|
I'll intreat the kind Gods for to open my Eyes.
|
II.
|
Dear Celia! oh then, Why so cruel to me?
|
When I that was always so Just unto thee:
|
How happy were I, that I could but obtain
|
One Smile of my own dear Celia again:
|
I will never forsake him as long as I live,
|
Whatever in Love he do's want I will give.
|
III.
|
Amintor is kind, and likewise is fair;
|
But none in the World can with Celia compare:
|
If his Love it were true, and that I might find
|
That forever, forever, to me he'd be kind,
|
I'd freely enjoy my Dear in my Arms,
|
And keep him secure from all other Harms.
|
IV.
|
Why should I prove false to him that I love,
|
For another to me he Unconstant may prove:
|
My Celia has Charms which I do adore;
|
If he'll be but kind, I desire no more:
|
For to ramble in Love I do not admire,
|
If I have my dear Celia 'tis all I desire.
|
His ANSWER.
|
DEar Cynthia! ne'er fear, my Love shall be true
|
There's none in the World that I love now but [you]
|
Then do not despair in your true Love no more
|
For 'tis you my dear Cynthia that I must adore:
|
I did but to try whether loyal you'd be,
|
But I never, no never will prove false to thee.
|
II.
|
I always was Just to the Promise I made,
|
Though you my dear Cynthia was ever afraid:
|
My Heart it was struck when I heard thee Complai[n]
|
Oh my Celia! my Celia! he does me disdain:
|
I did but to try whether loyal you'd be,
|
But I never, no never will prove false to thee.
