WHEN first I saw her charming Face, Her taking Shape and moving Grace; My Rosie Cheeks, my Rosie Cheeks did glow with heat, My Heart and my Pulse did beat, beat, beat, My Heart and my Pulse did beat; I wish’d for a, I wish’d for a, do you, do you guess what, Do you guess what makes Soldiers fight, Soldiers Fight, and States-men Plot. Subdues us all in every thing, And makes, makes a Subject of a King; Still she deny’d, and I reply’d, Away she flew, I did pursue, At last I catch’d her fast; But oh! had you seen, but oh! had you seen, Had you seen what had past between; Oh! I fear, I fear, oh! I fear, I fear, oh! I fear, I fear, I fear, I have spoil’d her Wast.
