Lyrics: Thomas Burnet
The mind of bright Sukey's a jewel,
Well set in a delicate frame,
But Annama pleases me too well
To examine what causes my flame.
The charms of sweet Sukey inspire me,
Her face, shape and wit I adore,
But Annama's smiling eyes fire me:
I ne'er felt such rapport before.
The one ev'ry grace is so good in,
Each word and each look I approve;
The other so smiles on a sudden,
I only know this that I love.
His measure (with Sukey) time loses,
Hours glide like the minutes away,
But if Anna her presence refuses,
One moment appears a whole day.
To music when Sukey light bounds,
My fancy too dances the hays,
But when Annama's spinet resounds
It is on my heartstrings she plays.
One sister my head so possesses,
My reason with her would take part;
The other that rebel suppresses,
And absolute reigns in my heart.
The mind of bright Sukey's a jewel,
Well set in a delicate frame,
But Annama pleases me too well
To examine what causes my flame.
The charms of sweet Sukey inspire me,
Her face, shape and wit I adore,
But Annama's smiling eyes fire me:
I ne'er felt such rapport before.
The one ev'ry grace is so good in,
Each word and each look I approve;
The other so smiles on a sudden,
I only know this that I love.
His measure (with Sukey) time loses,
Hours glide like the minutes away,
But if Anna her presence refuses,
One moment appears a whole day.
To music when Sukey light bounds,
My fancy too dances the hays,
But when Annama's spinet resounds
It is on my heartstrings she plays.
One sister my head so possesses,
My reason with her would take part;
The other that rebel suppresses,
And absolute reigns in my heart.
