Lyrics: Anon

Cease Damon, cease, no more complain,
Nor urge the haughty maid in vain;
Let other swains her charms approve,
And court the smiles of fickle love.

The bees exert their roving power
To taste the balm of ev'ry flower,
Where fragrant must they longer dwell,
To store with sweets their waxen cell.

Thus Damon seek another fair,
Unknown to change, unknown to care,
There fix your mind, your love, your peace,
And time will still your joys increase.
