Lyrics: Matthew Prior
Sylvia blushes when I woo her,
And with kindly chiding eyes
Faintly says I shall undo her;
Faintly: "O, forbear!" she cries.
But her breasts when I am pressing,
While to hers my lips I join,
Warm'd, she seems to taste the blessing,
And her kisses answer mine.
Undebauch'd by rules of honour,
Innocence with nature charms;
One bids gently push me from her,
The other, take me in her arms.
Sylvia blushes when I woo her,
And with kindly chiding eyes
Faintly says I shall undo her;
Faintly: "O, forbear!" she cries.
But her breasts when I am pressing,
While to hers my lips I join,
Warm'd, she seems to taste the blessing,
And her kisses answer mine.
Undebauch'd by rules of honour,
Innocence with nature charms;
One bids gently push me from her,
The other, take me in her arms.
