Volume 5 — A SONG.
Reading edition
Set and Sung by Mr. Leveridge at the Theater.
[Listen]
IRIS beware when Strephon pursues you, ’Tis but to boast a Conquest won: All his Designs are aim’d to undo you, Break off the Love he has begun: When he’s Addressing, and prays for the Blessing, Which none but his Iris can give alone; O then beware, ’tis all to undo you, ’Tis but to boast a Conquest won: She that’s believing, while he is deceiving, Like many already, will be undone; Iris beware when Strephon pursues you, ’Tis but to boast a Conquest won.
