t e're can cure thee. Little Boy with thy Bow, Why dost thou threaten; It is not long ago Since thou wast beaten: Thy wanton Mother, fair _Venus_ will chide thee; When all thy Arrows are gone, Thou may'st go hide thee. Of powerful shafts you see, I am well stored; Which makes my Deity, So much adored: With one poor Arrow now, I'll make thee shiver; And bend unto my Bow, And fear my Quiver. Dear little _Cupid_ be, Courteous and kindly; I know thou can'st not see, But shootest blindly: Altho' thou call'st me blind, Surely I'll hit thee; That thou shalt quickly find, I'll not forget thee. Then little _Cupid_ caught, His Bow so nimble; And shot a fatal shaft, Which made him tremble: Go tell thy Mistress dear, Thou canst discover; What all the Passions are, Of a dying Lover. And now this gallant Heart Sorely lies bleeding; He felt the greatest smart, From Love proceeding; He did her help implore, Whom he affected, But found that more and more, Him she rejected. For _Cupid_ with his Craft, Quickly had chosen, And with a Leaden shaft, Her Heart had frozen: Which caus'd this Lover more, Daily to languish; And _Cupid's_ Aid implore, To heal this Anguish. He humble pardon crav'd For his Offence past; And vow'd himself a Slave, And to love stedfast; His Prayers so ardent were, Whilst his Heart panted, That _Cupid_ lent an ear, And his suit granted. For by his present plaint, He was regarded; And his adored Saint, His Love rewarded: And now they live in Joy, Sweetly embracing, And left the little Boy, In the Woods chasing. _The Duke of_ GLOUCESTER's _March, Set by Dr._ BLOW. [Music] And now, now the Duke's March, Let the Haut-boys play; And his Troops in the Close, Shall Huzza, Huzza, Huzza: And now, now the Duke's March, Let the Haut-boys play; And his Troops in the Close, Shall Huzza, Huzza, Huzza. _A_ SONG _Sung at_ RICHMOND _New Wells, the Words by_ M. S. _Set by Mr._ MORGAN. [Music] _Aurelia_ now one Moment lost, A thousand Sighs may after cost; Desires may oft return in vain, But Youth will ne'er return again: Desires may oft return in vain, But Youth will ne'er return again.
