English poem
THE SKY LARK, &c, Song
by Anonymous
Let rakes and libertines, resign'd To sensual pleasures, tange: Here all the sex's charms I find, And ne'er can cool or change,
Let vain coquettes and prudes conceal What most their hearts desire: With pride my passion I reveal; Oh! may it ne'er expire.
The sun shall cease to spread its light, The stars their orbits leave, And fair creation sink in night When I my dear deceive.
