Contents:
Ah fading joy, how quickly art thou past -- Ah false Amyntas, can that hour -- Ah the charms of a beauty disdainfull and fair -- A lass there lives upon the green -- A souldier and a sailor -- A spouse I do hate -- Beneath the poplar's shaddow lay me -- Bid the sad forsaken grove -- Come, all ye youths, whose hearts e're bled -- Corinna I excuse thy face -- Cynthia frowns when e're I woo her -- Great Jove once made love like a bull -- How great are the blessings of government made -- I once had virtue, wealth, and fame -- Lo, behind a scene of seas -- No, no, poor suff'ring heart no change endeavour -- Of all the world's enjoyments -- Sawney was tall, and of noble race -- See how fair Corinna lies -- Since we poor slavish women know -- Still wilt thou sigh, and still in vain -- Tell me no more I am deceiv'd -- Thus Damon knock'd at Celia's door -- Thyrsis unjustly you complain -- Under the branches of a spreading tree -- Why should a foolish marriage vow -- You've been with dull prologues here banter'd so long.

Ah fading joy, how quickly art thou past -- Ah false Amyntas, can that hour -- Ah the charms of a beauty disdainfull and fair -- A lass there lives upon the green -- A souldier and a sailor -- A spouse I do hate -- Beneath the poplar's shaddow lay me -- Bid the sad forsaken grove -- Come, all ye youths, whose hearts e're bled -- Corinna I excuse thy face -- Cynthia frowns when e're I woo her -- Great Jove once made love like a bull -- How great are the blessings of government made -- I once had virtue, wealth, and fame -- Lo, behind a scene of seas -- No, no, poor suff'ring heart no change endeavour -- Of all the world's enjoyments -- Sawney was tall, and of noble race -- See how fair Corinna lies -- Since we poor slavish women know -- Still wilt thou sigh, and still in vain -- Tell me no more I am deceiv'd -- Thus Damon knock'd at Celia's door -- Thyrsis unjustly you complain -- Under the branches of a spreading tree -- Why should a foolish marriage vow -- You've been with dull prologues here banter'd so long.
