Daphnis.
Where'er Belinda roves, ye Zephyrs, play!
Where'er she treads, ye Flow'rs, adorn the Way!
From sultry Suns, ye Groves, my Charmer keep!
Ye bubbling Fountains, murmur to her Sleep!
Where'er Belinda roves, ye Zephyrs, play!
Where'er she treads, ye Flow'rs, adorn the Way!
From sultry Suns, ye Groves, my Charmer keep!
Ye bubbling Fountains, murmur to her Sleep!
Lycidas.
If Streams smooth-wand'ring, Delia, yield Delight,
If the gay Rose, or Lilly please thy Sight;
Smooth Streams here wander, here the Roses glow,
Here the proud Lillies rise to shade thy Brow!
If Streams smooth-wand'ring, Delia, yield Delight,
If the gay Rose, or Lilly please thy Sight;
Smooth Streams here wander, here the Roses glow,
Here the proud Lillies rise to shade thy Brow!
Daphnis.
Aid me, ye Muses, while I loud proclaim
What Love inspires, and sing Belinda's Name:
Waft it, ye Breezes, to the Hills around,
And sport, ye Echoes, with the favourite Sound.
Aid me, ye Muses, while I loud proclaim
What Love inspires, and sing Belinda's Name:
Waft it, ye Breezes, to the Hills around,
And sport, ye Echoes, with the favourite Sound.
