The following Airs are selected from the new Musical Farce,
Called Gretna Green.
Act I. Air VII.-- Miss Plumb. Tune Duraling.
See gay Mrs. Tonish, of Grosv'nor Place,
How charmingly she enamels her face!
She pencils her veins with azure blue;
With black her eye-brows; she combs them, too;
. . . [12 more lines]
Act II. Air VI.-- Captain Gorget. Dr. Arnold.
September the thirteenth, proud Bourbon may mourn;
Elliot's lightnings and thunders.
Like Jove's bolts, did wonders!
With shot, red hot,
Don Moreno was torn.
. . . [10 more lines]
Air VII.--- Signora. Giordani.
From branch to branch the feather'd pair,
Fly chirping sweet the pleasing strain;
The cares of love their only care,
And passion soothes their heart-felt pain.
. . . [4 more lines]
