_A_ SONG _in the Innocent Mistress. Set by Mr._ John Eccles, _Sung by
Mrs._ Hodgson.
[Music]
When I languish'd and wish'd you wou'd something bestow,
You bad me to give it a Name;
But by Heav'n I know it as little as you,
Tho' my Ignorance passes for Shame:
You take for Devotion each passionate Glance,
And think the dull Fool is sincere;
But never believe that I spake in Romance,
On purpose to tickle, on purpose, on purpose,
On purpose to tickle your Ear:
To please me than more, think still I am true,
And hug each Apocryphal Text;
Tho' I practice a Thousand false Doctrines on you,
I shall still have enough, I shall still have enough,
Shall still have enough for the next.

Love rules them, Love rules them, Love rules them,
Love rules them, Love rules them, and she rules Love.
Love rules them, and she rules Love.

So faithful and so kind a Heart:
Which cannot prove to you unjust,
But must it self endure the smart:
No, no, no, no the wandring Stars,
Shall sooner cease their Motion;
And Nature reconcile the Jars,
'Twixt _Boreas_ and the Ocean:
The fixed Poles shall seem to move,
And ramble from their Places;
E'er I'll from fair _Belinda_ rove,
Or slight her charming Graces.
_A_ SONG.
