On a Lady Drinking the Waters,
The Words by Sir George Etherige. Set by Mr. James Hart.
PHILLIS lay aside your Thinking,
Youth and Beauty shou'd be Gay,
Laugh and talk, and mind your Drinking:
Whilst we pass the Time away,
Laugh and talk, and mind your Drinking,
Whilst we pass the Time away.
They ought only to be pensive,
Who dare not their Grief declare,
