On a Fine Lady's Singing.
A Song, set by Mr. King, &c.
HOw like Elizium is the Grove,When chaste Dorinda sings of Love?It charms the troubled Soul to rest,And makes a Calm in ev'ry Brest:With various kinds of Harmony,She strikes at once the Ear and Eye:So soft her Voice, and she so Fair,Gives double sweetness to the Air.
The wretched Strephon, dumb with Pain,And Grief too heavy to complain:
descriptionPage 61
When soft Dorinda tunes her Voice,Forgets his Woe, and dreams of Joys.
O Lovely Charmer! be so kind,To ease sometimes a Wretches Mind:His Groans with gentler Sounds controul,And breathe a Balm into his Soul.
