Yes, I'm in love, I feel it now, And Celia has undone me; And yet I'll swear I can't tell how The pleasing plague stole on me. 'Tis not her face that love creates, For there no graces revel; 'Tis not her shape, for there the Fates Have rather been uncivil. 'Tis not her air, for sure, in that There's nothing more than common; And all her sense is only chat, Like any other woman. Her voice, her touch might give th'alarm, 'Tis both perhaps, or neither; In short, 'tis that provoking charm Of Celia altogether.
