Recitative.
FRolic and free, for pleafure born,
Dull felf-denying fools I fcorn :
The proffer'd blifs I ne'er refufe :
*Tis often troublefome to chufe. .
Lov'fl thou, my friend, love at fight ;
Drink'It thou, this bumper does thee right
At random with the ftream I flow,
And play my part where-e'er I go.
A I R,
Great god of fleep, fince it muft be,
That we muft give lbme hours to thee,
Invade me not, while the free bowl
Glows in my cheeks, and warms my foul ;
That be my only time to fnore,
When I can laugh and drink no more ;
Short, very ihort, be then thy reign,
For I'm in hafle to laugh and drink again,
But O ! if melting hi my arms,
In fome foft dream, with all her charms.
The nymph belov'd mould then furprife,
And grant what waking me denies ;
Then, gentle (lumber, prithee flay,
Slowly, ah, flowly bring the day !
Let no rude noife my blifs deftroy a
Such fweet deluiion's real joy.
