From Paxton's "Selection of two songs, six glees and two catches", published posthumously as his Op. 7.
Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
Go, burning sighs, some kindred heat impart
To fair Matilda's cold and frozen heart.
Celestial Venus, aid a suppliant swain,
Nor let him longer sigh and sigh in vain.
Be hushed my sorrows, cease my tears;
Behold, the blue-eyed nymph appears.
Hence sighs and sadness far away,
For see, she smiles, and bids the world be gay.
Go, burning sighs, some kindred heat impart
To fair Matilda's cold and frozen heart.
Celestial Venus, aid a suppliant swain,
Nor let him longer sigh and sigh in vain.
Be hushed my sorrows, cease my tears;
Behold, the blue-eyed nymph appears.
Hence sighs and sadness far away,
For see, she smiles, and bids the world be gay.
