( '74 )
My honour, courage, wealth and wit,
Thou dear delight, my chiefeft treafure,
Shall be imployed as thou thinks fit,
As agents for our love and pleafure.
Chorus.
O the happy, &c.
Melintda.
With my Brigantius I could live
In lonely cotts, befide a mountain,
And nature's eafy wants relieve
With fhepherds fare, and quaf the fountain.
What pleafes thee, the rural grove,
Or eongrefs of the fair and witty,
Shall give me pleafure with thy love,
In plains retir'd or foeial city.
Chorus.
O the happy, &c.
Brigantius.
How fweetly eanft thou charm my foul,
O lovely fum of my defires !
Thy beauties all my cares controul,
Thy virtue all that's good infpires.
Tune every inftrument of found,
Which all the mind divinely raifes,
Till every height and dale rebounds,
Both loud and fweet, my darling's praifes.
Chorus.
O the happy, &V.
Melinda.
Thy love gives me the brightefl mine,
My happinefs is now completed,
Since all that's generous, great and fine,
In my Brigantius is united ;
For which I'll ftudy thy delight,
With kindly taie the time beguiling,
And round the change of day and night,
Fix throughout life a conftant fmiling.
Chorus.
