Favourite airs in the new comic opera of two acts, called
"The Gypsies," performed on Monday night last, at the
Theatre Royal, Haymarket.
Air Mr. Brett.
Why am not I that fragrant flow'r
Near to her heart Spinettta plac'd,
Which proudly living a sweet hour,
Dy'd on that bosom it had grac'd?
. . . [3 more verses[
Air by Miss Harper, in the character of Spinetta.
Love's a cheat; we over rate it;
A flatt'ring, false deceitful joy;
A very nothing can create it,
A very nothing can destroy.
. . . [1 more verse]
