SONG.
To the Tune of, Woes my heart that *we Jhouldfunder*
AD I E U ye pleafant fports and plays,
Farewel each fong that was diverting v
Love tunes my pipe to mournful lays,
I fing of Delia and Damons parting.
Long had he lovM, and long conceal'd
The dear tormenting pleafant paffion,
Till Delia's mildnefs had prevail'd
On him to fhew his inclination.
. Juft as the fair one feem'd to give
A patient ear to his love ftory,.
Damn mult his Delta leave,
To go in quell of tollfome glory;
Half-fpoken words hung on his tongue,
Their eyes refus'd the ufual meeting ;.
And fighs fupply'd their wonted fong,
Thefe charming founds were changed to weeping.
Dear idol of my foul, adieu :
Ceafe to lament, but ne'er to love me,
While Damon lives, he lives for you,
No other charms lhall ever move me.
Alas \ who knows, when parted far
From Delia, but you may deceive her ?
The thought deftroys my heart with care,
Adieu, my dear, I fear for ever.
If ever I forget my vows,
May then my guardian-angel leave me : ,
And more to aggravate my woes,
Be you fo good as to forgive me, H,
