Ah! what can mean that eager joy
Transports my when you appear?
Ah, Strephon! you my thoughts employ
all that's charming, all that's dear.
When you your story tell,
A softness does invade each part,
And with blushes own I feel
Something too tender at heart.
At your approach my blushes rise,
And I once both wish and fear;
My wounded soul mounts my eyes,
As it would prattle stories there.
Take, that heart that needs must go
But, shepherd, see kindly used:
For who such presents will bestow,
If this, alas! should be abused?
