Which,like the fun,for ever glo-ws

Ye light coquetslye airy things!
Howr vain is all your art !
How feldom it a lover brings I
How rarely keeps a heart [
O gather from my Nelly’s-charms ,
That fweet,that graceful eafe ;
That blufhing modefty that warms ;
That native art to pleale !
Come then, my, love! O come along.
And feed me with thy charms;
Come,fair infpirer of my fong,
O till my longing arms 2
A flame like mine can never die.
While charms fo bright as thine.
So heav’nly fair, both pleafe the eye.
And fill the foul divine !
