                YOUNG <name type ="mythological">Corydon</name> and <name type ="historical">Phillis</name>,<lb/>
                Sat in a lonely grove;<lb/>
                Contriving crowns of Lillies,<lb/>
                Repeating tales of Love.<lb/> 
                Chorus.<lb/>
                And something else,<lb/> 
                And something else,<lb/>
                What I do know<lb/> 
                But dare not tell.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                But as they were a playing.<lb/>
                She ogled to the Swain;<lb/> 
                It sav'd her plainly saying,<lb/>
                Let's kiss to ease our pain.<lb/> 
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                Ten thousand times he kiss'd her<lb/>
                While sporting on the green;<lb/>
                And as he fondly press'd her,<lb/>
                Her pretty leg was seen.<lb/>
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                So many beauties viewing,<lb/>
                His ardour did increase;<lb/>
                And greater joys pursuing,<lb/>
                He wander'd o'er her breast.<lb/> 
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p> 
            
            <p>
                This <name type="mythological">Nymph</name> seem'd almost dying,<lb/> 
                Dissolv'd in am'rous heat;<lb/> 
                She whisper'd faintly sighing,<lb/>
                My dear, your love is great!<lb/>
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p> 
            
            <p>
                At length one effort trying,<lb/>
                His pressing to withstand;<lb/>
                She said, the while complying,<lb/>
                O! take away your hand!<lb/>
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                Young <name type ="mythological">Corydon</name> grew bolder,<lb/>
                This moment did improve;<lb/>
                This was the time he told her,<lb/>
                To show how he could love.<lb/>
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                But <name type ="historical">Phillis</name> did recover<lb/>
                Much sooner than the Swain,<lb/>
                And blushing ask'd her lover,<lb/>
                Shall we not kiss again?<lb/>
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
            
            <p>
                Thus love his revels keeping,<lb/>
                Till Nature made a stand;<lb/>
                From talk they fell a sleeping,<lb/>
                Holding each other's hand.<lb/> 
                And something else, &amp;c.<lb/></p>
