nd not Lov'd again, Does prove, does prove, a Hell to me. _A Mock Song to_ If Love's a sweet Passion. [Music] If Wine be a Cordial why does it Torment? If a Poison oh! tell me whence comes my Content? Since I drink it with Pleasure, why should I complain? Or repent ev'ry Morn when I know 'tis in vain: Yet so charming the Glass is, so deep is the Quart, That at once it both drowns and enlivens my Heart. I take it off briskly and when it is down, By my jolly Complexion I make my Joy known; But oh! how I'm blest when so strong it does prove, By its soveraign heat to expel that of Love: When in quenching the Old, I creat a new Flame, And am wrapt in such Pleasures that still want a Name. _The_ LOYAL _Subject's WISH. By Mrs._ ANNE MORCOTT. [Music] Let _Mary_ live long, She's Vertuous and Witty, All charmingly Pretty; Let _Mary_ live long, And Reign many Years: Wou'd the Cloud was gone o'er, That troubles us sore, When the Sun-shine appears; We shall be deliver'd, We shall be deliver'd, From fury and fears.
