¶Lyrics / Text

'''Solo Tenor:''' :Soft notes, and gently rais'd, :Let some harsh sound the fair Corinna's Rest do rudely Wound; :Diffuse a Peaceful Calmness through each Part, :touch all The Springs of a soft Virgin's Heart. :Tune ev'ry Pulse and kindle all her Blood, :and svell the Torrent of the living Flood; :glide thro' her Dreams, and o're her Fancy move, :and Stir up, Stir up all the Images of Love. :'''Symphony for two flutes''' '''Solo Tenor:''' :Thus feeble Man does his advantage take, :to gain in Sleep what he must lose awake, :when Night and shades shut up Corinna's Charms, :Then is the prop'rest time to take up Arms: :But Night and Shades he Beauties can't conceal. :Night has peculiar Graces to reveal. '''Chorus: ''' :Ten thousand, thousand Raptures do attend, :Ten thousand thousand Raptures do attend this time, :too strong for Fancy, too strong for Fancy and too full, :and too full, and too full, and too full for Rhime; :Too strong for Fancy and too full for Rhime. :Too strong for Fancy and too full for Rhime.
