Sung by James Dodd in a production of Garrick's The Foundling, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, c.1766.
Lyrics: David Garrick

Like sparkling champagne,
Rosy mounts to the brain.
And so tingles in every part:
Her fire comes so quick,
Her shots fly so thick
No quarter she gives to the heart.

Fidelia demure,
More slow but as sure,
Her mischief will greatly impart;
Will day after day
Steal your senses away,
And then steal away with your heart.

But I who knw both,
To one should be loth,
So manage the matter with art:
I laugh at the trick
Of the slow and the quick,
And then steal away with your heart.
