Ma Chere Amie

Ma chere Amie, my charming fair Whose smiles can banish ev'ry care, In kind compassion smile on me, Whose only care is love of thee, Ma chere Amie, &c.

Under sweet friendship, sacred name, My bosom caught the tender flame, May friendship in thy bosom be, Converted into love for me, Ma chere Amie,&c.

Together rear'd, together grown, O let us now unite in one; Let pity soften thy decree, I droop, dear maid, I die for thee, Ma chere Amie, &c.
