SONG. To Lerinda.
18th Century Lady Mary Chudleigh EnglishSONG. To Lerinda.
CEase, Dear Lerinda, cease admiring Why Crouds and Noise I disapprove; What e'er I see abroad is tiring; O let us to some Cell remove; Where all alone our selves enjoying, Enrich'd with Innocence and Peace, On noblest Themes our Thoughts employing, Let us our inward Joys increase: And still the happy Taste pursuing, Raise our Love and Friendship higher, And thus the sacred Flames renewing, In Extasies of Bliss expire.
