148261 : Stanley : Oh Cælia, recall thy lost hours : sheet music
Catalogued as Choral - Secular (Songs and Concert Airs)

From "Calliope or English Harmony. A Collection of the most celebrated English and Scots songs", London, 1746, titled Advice to Cælia. Many of the songs from this collection were probably composed for the London pleasure gardens, particularly Vauxhall.
Lyrics: Anon

Oh Cælia, recall thy lost hours,
And duty and reason obey;
Despise love, and all those false powers
That first gave young Strephon away.
Believe me, the swain is a rover,
Nor constant to any can be;
Then prithee discard such a lover,
And once more resolve to be free.
