(237) Page 233 - My passion is as mustard strong
( }'^^ )
Let me thy clear, thy yielding vviive, '• :
With naked ann, once more divide j
In thee my glowing bofom lave,
■ And ftem thy gently^rolling tide.
Lay me, with damask rofes crown'd.
Beneath fome ofier's dusky fhade,
"Where water-lilies paint the ground,
And bnbling fprings refrefh the glade-
Let chafte Clarinda too be there,
With azure mantle lightly dreft 5
Ye nymphs bind up her filken hair,
Ye Zephyrs fan her panting breaft.
O hade away, fair maid, and bring
The mufe, the kindly friend to love,
To thee alone the mufe fhall fing,
And warble thro' the vocal grove.
h Swift's Mifcellanies, Vol. IV.
Tune, Children in the Wood.
MY paffion is as muftard ftrong,
I fit all fober fad,
prunk as a piper all day long,
Or, like a March hare, mad.
Round as a hoop the bumpers flow,
I drink, yet can't forget her ;
For, tho' as drunk as David Sow,
I love her Ihil the better.
Pert as a pearmonger I'd be,
U Molly were but kind.
Cool as a cucumber, would fee
The reft of womankind.
