so much o'er-rules her Passion;
_Chloe_ suffers all to enter,
Subjects Fame to Inclination:
Neither's Method I admire,
Either is in Love displeasing;
_Chloe's_ fondness gluts desire
_Lavia's_ Cowardise is Teazing.
_Caelia_ by a Wiser Measure,
In one faithful Swains embraces;
Pays a private Debt to Pleasure,
Yet for Chast in publick Passes:
Fair ones follow _Caelia's_ Notion,
Free from fear and censure wholly;
Love, but let it be with Caution,
For Extreams are Shame or Folly.
_A_ SONG. _Set by an Eminent Master._
When embracing my Friends,
And quaffing Champain;
Dull Phlegmatick Spleen,
Thou assault'st me in vain;
Dull Phlegmatick Spleen,
Thou assault'st me in vain:
My Pleasures flow pure,
Without Taint or Allay;
And each Glass that I drink,
Inspires with new Joy.
My Pleasures thus heighten'd,
No Improvement receive;
But what the dear Sight
Of my _Phillis_ can give:
The Charms of her Eyes,
The Force of my Wine,
Do then in Harmonious Confed'racy joyn:
To wrap me with Joys,
To wrap me with Joys,
Seraphick, Seraphick, and Divine.
_A_ TENEMENT _to Let_.
[Music]
I Have a Tenement to Let,
I hope will please you all,
And if you'd know the Name of it,
'Tis called _Cunny Hall_.
It's seated in a Pleasant Vale,
Beneath a rising Hill;
This Tenement is to be Let,
To whosoe'er I will.
For Years, for Months, for Weeks or Days,
I'll let this famous Bow'r;
Nay rather than a Tennant want,
I'd let it for an Hour.
There's round about a pleasant Grove,
To shade it from the Sun;
And underneath is Well water
That pleasantly does run.
Where if you're hot you may be cool'd,
If cold you may find heat;
It is a well contrived Spring,
Not little nor too great.
The place is very Dark by Night,
And so it is by Day;
But when you once are enter'd in,
You cannot lose your way.
And when you're in, go boldly on,
As far as e'er you can;
And if you reach to the House top,
You'll be where ne'er was Man.
Tune, _Draw_ Cupid _Draw_.
Here, _Chloe_ hear,
And do not turn away,
From my Desire, but quench my Fire.
And my Love's flames allay:
And let my Song go along,
Unto Compassion move;
And make you kind,
And bend your mind,
And melt you in
