Lyrics: William Somerville
Jolly Bacchus hear my pray'r,
Vengeance on th'ungrateful fair.
In thy smiling cordial bowl
Drown the sorrows of my soul.
Jolly Bacchus, save, O save
From the deep devouring grave
A poor despairing, dying swain.
Haste away, haste away,
Lash thy tigers, do not stay;
I'm undone if thou delay.
If I view those eyes once more,
Still shall love and still adore,
And be more wretched than before.
Jolly Bacchus hear my pray'r,
Vengeance on th'ungrateful fair.
In thy smiling cordial bowl
Drown the sorrows of my soul.
Jolly Bacchus, save, O save
From the deep devouring grave
A poor despairing, dying swain.
Haste away, haste away,
Lash thy tigers, do not stay;
I'm undone if thou delay.
If I view those eyes once more,
Still shall love and still adore,
And be more wretched than before.
