My good Mr. Rind,
Will you be so kind
To insert a few lines for a lover?
Who doats on the maid,
But is rather afraid
His passion (as yet) to discover.
ON MISS ANNE GEDDY SINGING, AND PLAYING ON THE SPINNET.
When Nancy on the spinnet plays,
I fondly on the virgin gaze,
And wish that she was mine:
Her air, her voice, her lovely face,
. . . [5 lines]
Corelli, Handell, Felton, Nares,
With their concertos, solos, airs,
Are far less sweet to me!
. . . [6 more lines]
