A Song. Set by Mr. JOHN ISUM.
[[Listen]]
CÆLIA’s Charms are past expressing,
Were she kind as she is Fair;
Cælia’s Charms are past expressing,
Were she kind as she is Fair:
Heav’ns cou’d grant no greater Blessing,
Nor Earth a Nymph more worth our Care;
Heav’ns cou’d grant no greater Blessing,
Nor Earth a Nymph, nor Earth a Nymph more worth our Care.
But Unkindness, Unkindness mars her Beauty,
And useless makes that Heav’nly,
That Heav’nly, that Heav’nly frame;
But Unkindness mars her Beauty,
And useless makes that Heav’nly, Heav’nly frame:
While she mistakes and calls that Duty,
Which ill Nature others name:
While she mistakes and calls that Duty,
Which ill Nature others name.
