Lyrics: Oliver Goldsmith
When lovely woman stoops to folly
And finds, too late, that men betray,
What charms can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover
To hide her shame from ev'ry eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom is - to die.
When lovely woman stoops to folly
And finds, too late, that men betray,
What charms can soothe her melancholy,
What art can wash her guilt away?
The only art her guilt to cover
To hide her shame from ev'ry eye,
To give repentance to her lover,
And wring his bosom is - to die.
