A SONG Sett by Mr. Jer: Clarke.

Young Corydon and Phyllis
sate in a Lovely Grove,
contriving Crowns of Lillies,
repeating Tales of Love,
And Something elce but
what I dare not, what I dare not, what I dare not name,

(2)
But as they were a playing,
She ogled so the Swain,
It sav'd her plainly saying,
Let's kiss to ease our pain,
And Something elce etc.

(3)
A thousand Times he kiss'd her,Laying her on the Green,
But as he further press'd her,
A pretty Legg was seen,
And Something elce etc.

(4)
So many Beauties veiwing,
His Ardour still increas'd,
And greater Joys pursuing,
He wander'd o'er her Breast,
And Something elce etc.

(5)
A last Effort she Trying,
His Passion to withstand,
Cry'd but twas faintly crying,
Pray take away your Hand,
And Something elce etc.

(6)
Young Corydon grown bolder,
The Minute wou'd improve,
This is the Time he told her,
To Shew you how I Love,
And Something elce etc.

(7)
The Nymph seem'd almost dying,
Disolv'd in amorous Heat,
She kiss'd and told him Sighing,
My Dear your Love is great,
And Something elce etc.

(8)
But Phillis did recover,
Much sooner than the Swain,
She blushing ask'd her Lover,
Shall we not kiss again,
And Something elce etc.

(9)
Thus Love his Revels keeping,
Till Nature at a Stand,
From Talk they fell to Sleeping,
Holding each others Hand,
And Something elce etc.
