A New Song in the Play call’d, a Duke
and no Duke. Sung by Mrs. Cibber.
[[Listen]]
DAMON if you will believe me,
’Tis not sighing o’er the Plain;
Songs nor Sonnets can’t relieve ye,
Faint Attempts in Love are vain:
Urge but home the fair Occasion,
And be Master of the Field;
To a powerful kind Invasion,
’Twere a Madness not to yield.
Tho’ she vow’s she’ll ne’er permit ye,
Says you’re rude, and much to blame;
And with Tears implores your pity,
Be not merciful for shame:
When the first assault is over,
Chloris time enough will find;
This so fierce and Cruel Lover,
Much more gentle, not so kind.
A Song. The Words made to a Tune of
the late Mr. Henry Purcell’s.
