Jovial tinker and the farmer's daughter/The Amorous Lover
COME, my beauty let’s be merry,
mixing joy with great delight,
O let us love and ne’er be weary,
courting, sporting day and night.
Let us not lose one moment’s pleasure,
but with vigorous love pursue,
We are not confin’d to measure,
for our joy shall still renew.
O mutual freedom is a jewel,
when with love it is repaid,
Never to each other be cruel,
but sustain what nature made.
When l view thy charming features,
then with raptures I’m carest.
You are the lovelist of all creatures,
with you alone I’m truly blest.
Nature has made you so endearing,
without the help of any art,
I cannot rest without declaring,
it’s you alone has won my heart:
I will never be a rover,
for I’m happy in your charms,
for not change you for another,
I could die within your arms.
