FANCY: A SONG in a Pantomime Entertainment

Fancy leads the fetter'd senses Captives to her fond controul; Merit may have rich pretences, But 'tis FANCY fires the soul.

Far beyond the bounds of meaning FANCY flies, a fairy queen! FANCY, wit and worth disdaining, Gives the prize to HARLEQUIN.

If the virgin's false, forgive her, FANCY was your only foe: CUPID claims the dart and quiver, But 'tis FANCY twangs the bow.
