"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: David Mallet

A youth, adorn'd with every art
To warm and win the coldest heart,
In secret mine possess'd:
The morning bud that fairest blows,
The vernal oak that straightest grows,
His face and shape express'd.

In moving sounds he told his tale,
Soft as the sighings of a gale
That wakes the flowing year.
What wonder he could charm with ease,
Whom happy Nature form'd to please,
Whom Love had made sincere?
