The CAPTAIN of LOVE.

Ye Nymphs and ye Swains,
Who are youthful and gay,
Attend to my call
And be blest while ye may;
Lads and Lasses hither come,
To the sound of my drum,
I have treasures in store,
That you never have seen.
Chorus. Then haste let us rove,
To the Island of Love,
Where Cupid is Captain,
And Venus is Queen.

Each Nymph or sixteen,
Who would fain be a wife;
Shall soon have a partner
To bless her for life.
Then please hither come,
To the sound of my drum,
I have sweethearts in store,
That you never have seen: Then haste, &c.

Would a youth be but blest,
With a Nymph to his mind,
Let him enter my list,
And his wish he will find.
I can bless him for life,
With a kind loving wife,
More beautiful far,
Than the Nymph e'er was seen. Then, &c.

In Paphas we know
No disorder nor strife;
Each Nymph and each Swain,
May be happy for life,
In transport and joy,
We each moment employ,
And taste such delights,
As never yet was seen. Then haste, &c.
