Dear Silvia no longer my passion despise,
Nor arm thus with Terror those Beautiful Eyes,
They become not Distain but most charming would prove,
If once they're softened with Smiles and with Love,
If once they're softened with Smiles & with Love,
If once they're softened with Smiles & with Love.

DAMON AND FLORELLA

Cast my Love thine eyes around,
See the sportive Lambkins play,
Nature gayly decks the Ground,
All in Honour of the May,
Like the Sparrow and the Dove,
Listen to the voice of Love,
Listen to the voice of Love,
Listen to the voice of Love,
Listen to the voice of Love.
