Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly:
Teach me in soft, melodious songs to move,
With tender passion, my heart’s darling joy.
Ah! let the soul of music tune my voice,

With an air and a face,
And a shape, and a grace,
Let me charm like Beauty’s goddess.

Falls on my breast!
Bleak winds in tempests blow,
My veins al
