Thou charming native of Dijon[1],

At thy approach my cares are flown,

Sad melancholy is no more,

Which rack’d and plagu’d my soul before.

Whether thy influence incites,

(Sweet influence) to soft delights;

Or else dost other measures keep,

And gently urge to peaceful sleep.

O may’st thou still such streams bestow,

Still with such ruddy torrents flow.
