" Je Ne Sais Quoi, " The
Yes, I'm in love, I feel it now,
And Celia has undone me;
And yet I'll swear I can't tell how
The pleasing plague stole on me.
'Tis not her face that love creates,
For there no Graces revel;
'Tis not her shape, for there the Fates
Have rather been uncivil.
'Tis not her air, for sure in that,
There's nothing more than common;
And all her sense is only chat,
Like any other woman.
Her voice, her touch, might give the alarm--
'Tis both perhaps, or neither;
In short, 'tis that provoking charm
Of Celia altogether.
