"Eight canzonets for two soprano voices, dedicated by permission to their Royal Highnesses Princess Augusta and Princess Elizabeth" (and, one assumes, intended for domestic performance by the Royal Family). The bass line is marked "Violoncello or Harpsichord". c.1790 (n/d).
Lyrics: Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

Would you engage the lovely maid,
With gentlest manners treat her.
With tender looks and graceful air,
In softest accents greet her.
