Volume 5 — A Song Set by Mr. John Barrett, and Sung by Mrs. Lindsey.
Reading edition
[Listen]
CÆLIA hence with Affectation, Hence with all this careless Air; Hypocrisy is out of Fashion, With the Witty and the Fair: Nature all thy Arts discloses, While the Pleasures she supplies; Paint thy glowing Cheeks with Roses, And inflame thy sparkling Eyes. Foolish Cælia not to know, Love thy Int’rest and thy Duty; Thou to love alone dost owe, All thy Joy, and all thy Beauty: Mark the tuneful Feather’d kind, At the coming of the Spring; All in happy Pairs are joyn’d, And because they love they Sing.
