LET Murmurring Lovers no longer repine, But their Hearts and their Voices advance; Let the Nymphs and the Swains in their kind Chorus joyn, And the Saters and Fauns in a Dance. Let Nature put on her beauty of May, And the Fields and the Meadows adorn, Let the Woods and the Mountains resound with the joy, And the Echoes the Triumph return.

Since Aminta the fair one is mine, and no more, I now shall have cause to be sad; But in Joys we will Revel, and never give o'er, Till the World it shall think we are mad: Yet we care not who thinks, let it be what it will, Our Pleasures all thought shall exceed; A true Lovers pleasure, when envy'd, will swell, And the more 'tis disturbed will breed.
