Lyrics: Della Crusca (Robert Merry)

Go, idle boy, I quit thy bow'r,
Thy couch of many a thorn and flow'r;
I wish thee well for pleasures past,
And bless the hour I'm free at last.
Yet still, methinks, the altered day
Scatters around a mournful ray,
And chilling ev'ry zephyr blows,
And ev'ry stream untuneful flows.
Haste thee back then, idle boy,
And with thine anguish bring thy joy;
O rend my heart with ev'ry pain,
But let me love again.
