A Dialogue between DAMON and PHILLIS.

Damon.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 ONce my Shepherdess was true, e're she my new Ri—val knew; oh my Chlo—e! then we were all we wish'd, a happy Pair; all we wish'd, a happy Pair: Peace of Mind so refin'd, sure on Earth was ne—ver known; ne're ad—mi—ring, nor de- si—ring a—ny Hea—ven but our own.

Phillis

〈♫〉〈♫〉 When I on—ly had your Heart, I lov'd tru—ly with—out Art; then my Charms you how—er—ly swore, taught false Stre—phon to A—dore: I believ'd you, ne're deceiv'd you, ah! had you but been so

true; how you bless'd me when you kiss'd me, kiss'd me, then be—tray'd me too; how you bless'd me when you kiss'd me, kiss'd me, then be—tray'd me too, then be— then betray'd me too.

Damon.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 But if Strephon's wand'ring Heart, he at length call home a—gain;

Soft.

he at length call home a—gain; from new Charms could you depart, to your own, to your own re—pen—ting Swain? from new Charms could you de—part, to your own, to your own re—pen—ting Swam?

Phillis

〈♫〉〈♫〉 Were he brighter than the Day, or

fairer than the Milky way; in—to thy Arms, in—to thy Arms would I run, and quit him, quit him all for thee; into thy Arms, in-to thy Arms would I run and quit him, quit him, all for thee, for thee, for thee, and quit him, quit him all for thee, for thee, for thee.

Chorus together.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 THen let us hast, then let us hast, Love's Sweets to tast; whilst all the Pow'rs a—bove do wish, do wish to know, to know, envying our Love, th' Almighty Joys true

Lo—vers take, true Lovers take below; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers take be- low; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers take be—low; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, true lo—vers take below; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, true Lo— —vers take below.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 THen let us hast, then let us hast, Love's Sweets to tast; whilst all the Pow'rs a—bove, do wish, do wish to know, envying our Love, th' Almighty

Joys true Lovers, true Lo—vers take below; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, true Lovers, th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, true Lovers take be—low; th' Almighty Joys true Lovers, true Lovers take below.
