Volume 5 — A SONG.
Reading edition
The Words by Mr. Ward, Set by Mr. Harris.
[Listen]
BElinda! why do you distrust, So faithful and so kind a Heart: Which cannot prove to you unjust, But must it self endure the smart: No, no, no, no the wandring Stars, Shall sooner cease their Motion; And Nature reconcile the Jars, ’Twixt Boreas and the Ocean: The fixed Poles shall seem to move, And ramble from their Places; E’er I’ll from fair Belinda rove, Or slight her charming Graces.
