Or, if with us thou wilt remain, "While in ZELINDA's arms I lie, "ZELINDA gives me perfect joys; WHEN SAPPHO tuned the raptured strain, For while she struck the quivering wire. The captive soul was charm'd away. But But had she added still to these She ne'er had pined beneath disdain, SMOLLETT. Go, plaintive sounds! and to the fair My secret wounds impart; Tell all I hope, tell all I fear, Each motion in my heart. But she, methinks, is list'ning now To some enchanting strain; The smile that triumphs o'er her brow Yes, plaintive sounds! yet, yet delay, Let Let that gay minute pass away, Yes, plaintive sounds! no longer crost, Yes, plaintive sounds! she now is yours, 'Tis now your time to move; Essay to soften all her powers, And be that softness, love. Cease, plaintive sounds! your task is done; That anxious tender air Proves o'er her heart the conquest won; Return, ye smiles, return again; I take no outward show amiss, Still let her smiles each shepherd bless, So she but hear my sighs. HAMILTON, WHEN charming Teraminta sings, Now would listen, now would kiss, MY My dear mistress has a heart Soft as those kind looks she gave me, When with love's resistless art, And her eyes, she did enslave me: But her constancy's so weak, She's so wild and apt to wander, That my jealous heart would break Should we live one day asunder. Melting joys about her move, Wounding pleasures, killing blisses; She can dress her eyes in love, And her lips can arm with kisses; Angels listen when she speaks, She's my delight, all mankind's wonder, But my jealous heart would break Should we live one day asunder.
