A
Song in the last New Comedy call'd the Married Beau
or the Curious Impertinent. sung by Mr. Doggett and Sett by Mr. John Eccles.

Oh fye! what mean I Foolish Maid,

in this remote and silent shade to meet with you a lone;

my heart does with the place combine,

and both are more your friends than mine;

& both are more your friends than mine.

Oh! oh! oh! I shall, I shall, I shall be undone.

Oh! oh! oh! oh! I shall be undone.

A Savage beast I wou'd not fear,

Or shou'd I meet with Villains here;

I to some Cave wou'd run.

But such Inchanting art you shew.

I cannot strive I cannot goe.

Oh! I shall be undone.

III.

Ah! give your sweet Temptations o're,

I'll touch those dang'rous Lipps no more:

What must we yet fool on?

Ah! now I yeild, Ah! now I fall,

Ah! now I have no breath at all,

And now I'm quite undone.
