The

Harming, lovely beauteous creature, Ceaſe to languiſh grieve and pine, He muſt have a ſavage nature, That can ſlight ſuch charms divine; Although I did ſeem to be ſlighting, It was thy conſtancy to try, The only one I do adore, And will for evermore, With Sylvia alone I'll live and die.

Hear me ye hills and every valley, Hear me renew my former vows: May the Powers above forſake me, When any other nymph I chuſe, O witneſs all ye heav'nly Pow'rs, How I the lovely nymph adore; I'll ne'er forget thee, Nor ne'er neglect thee, Conſtant I'll prove for evermore.

Ye Gods what mortal can forſake thee, to admire another fair; Thy fair beauteous charms are ſo lovely, Few with Sylvia can compare, Swift I will fly to my treaſure, Heav'ns my Sylvia to reſtore, None can her excel, With her I will dwell, Sylvia I ever muſt adore.
