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