Thus in plaintive Notes, dear Creature,
Let me but attract thine Ear;
And, by kind assistant Nature,
Make thee love and be sincere:
Love and Music must obtain
Kind Returns, for Strephon 's Pain.

In those Eyes, I now discover
Dawning Pity for thy Swain;
Blush not, Cynthia , for thy Lover
Will the Flame return again:
Blest the Passion Music fir'd,
Love by Harmony inspir'd.
