¶Liedtext

As on a flow'ry bank I lay, Pleas'd with nature's various pride, A roving Cupid flew that way, And left his arrow in my side. Too soon I felt the cruel smart, Too late the pow'rful god I knew; And, from the anguish of my heart, My fate alas! I found too true. I sighing sobb'd, and begging swore All due obedience to his will. "Fond youth", cried he, "lament no more; Tho' deep I wound, I never kill. Rise, to the blooming Fanny run; Get there thy death or happiness. Tho' in thy heart my arrows burn, 'Tis she must kill or give thee ease".
