Volume 5 — A Song, Set by Mr. John Weldon.
Reading edition
[Listen]
SWAIN thy hopeless Passion smother, Perjur’d Cælia loves another; In his Arms I saw her lying, Panting, Kissing, Trembling, Dying: There the Fair deceiver swore, As once she did to you before. Oh! said you, when She deceives me, When that Constant Creatures leave me; Isis Waters back shall fly, And leave their Ouzy Channels dry: Turn your Waters, leave your Shore, For perjur’d Cælia loves no more.
A Song in the Comedy call’d the Biter, Set by Mr. John Eccles, and Sung by Mr. Cook.
[Listen]
CHLOE blush’d and frown’d and swore, And push’d me rudely from her; I call’d her Faithless, Jilting Whore, To talk to me of Honour: But when I rose and wou’d be gone, She cry’d nay, whither go ye? Young Damon saw, now we’re alone, Do, do, do what you will, do what you will with Chloe: Do what you will, what you will, what you will with Chloe, Do what you will, what you will, what you will with Chloe.
