Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

ORPHEUS BRITANNICUS . A COLLECTION OF ALL The Choicest SONGS FOR One , Two , and Three Uoices , COMPOS'D By M r. Henry Purcell .

All which are placed in their several Keys according to the Order of the Gamut . LONDON , Printed by J. Heptinstall , for Henry Playford , in the Temple-Change , in Fleet-street , MDCXCVIII . To the Honourable , The Lady HOWARD . MADAM , WEre it in the power of Musick to abate-those strong Impressions of Grief which have continued upon me ever since the Loss of my dear lamented Husband , there are few ( I believe ) who are furnished with larger or better supplies of Comfort from this Science , than he has left me in his own Compositions , and in the Satisfaction I find , that they are not more valued by me ( who must own my self fond to a Partiality of all that was his ) than by those who are no less Judges than Patrons of his Performances . I find , Madam , I have already said enough to justifie the Presumption of this Application to Your Ladiship , who have added both these Characters to the many excellent Qualities , which make You the Admiration of all that know You. Your Ladiship 's extraordinary skill in Musick , beyond most of either Sex , and Your great Goodness to that dear Person , whom You have sometimes been pleased to honour with the Title of Your Master , makes it hard for me to judge whether he contributed more to the vast Improvements You have made in that Science , or Your Ladiship to the Reputation he gain'd in the Profession of it : For I have often heard him say , That as several of his best Compositions were originally design'd for Your Ladiship 's Entertainment , so the Pains he bestowed in fitting them for Your Ear , were abundantly rewarded by the Satisfaction he has received from Your Approbation , and admirable Performance of them , which has best recommended both them and their Author to all that have had the happiness of hearing them from Your Ladiship . Another great advantage , to which my Husband has often imputed the success of his Labors , and which may best plead for Your Ladiship 's favourable Acceptance of this Collection , has been the great Justness both of Thought and Numbers which he found in the Poetry of our most refin'd Writers , and among them , of that Honourable Gentleman , who has the dearest and most deserved Relation to your Self , and whose Excellent Compositions were the Subject of his last and best Performance in Musick . Thus , Madam , Your Ladiship has every way the justest Title to the Patronage of this Book , the Publication of which , under the auspicious Influence of Your Name , is the best ( I had almost said the only ) means I have left of Testifying to the World , my desire to pay the last Honours to its dear Author , Your Ladyship having generously prevented my intended Performance of the Duty I owe to his Ashes , by erecting a fair Monument over them , and gracing it with an Inscription which may perpetuate both the Marble and his Memory . Your Generosity , which was too large to be confin'd either to his Life or his Person , has also extended it self to his Posterity , on whom Your Ladiship has been pleas'd to entail Your Favours , which must , with all Gratitude , be acknowledg'd as the most valuable part of their Inheritance , both by them , and YOUR LADISHIP 's Most oblig'd , and most Humble Servant , Fr. Purcell . THE Bookseller to the Reader . WHereas this Excellent Collection was design'd to have been Publish'd some considerable Time before now , the Reason of its delay , was to have it as compleat as possibly it could be made , both in regard to the Memory of that great Master , and the Satisfaction of all that buy it . And to make amends to those Gentlemen and Ladies who subscrib'd early to this Work , they will here find an Addition of above Thirty Songs more than were at first propos'd , which ( considering the extraordinary charge of Paper , &c. at this time ) is an additional Expence to me , tho' I hope the Compleatness of the Work will recompence my Care and Trouble . The Author 's extraordinary Talent in all sorts of Musick is sufficiently known , but he was especially admir'd for the Vocal , having a peculiar Genius to express the Energy of English Words , whereby he mov'd the Passions of all his Auditors . And I question not , but the Purchaser will be very well pleas'd in the Choice of this Collection , which will be a great Satisfaction to Your Humble Servant , Hen. Playford . An ODE on the Death of Mr. Henry Purcell . Written by Mr. Dryden . I. MArk how the Lark and Linnet Sing , With rival Notes They strain their warbling Throats , To welcome in the Spring . But in the close of Night , When Philomel begins her Heav'nly Lay , They cease their mutual spight , Drink in her Musick with Delight , And list'ning and silent , and silent and list'ning , and list'ning and silent obey . II. So ceas'd the rival Crew when Purcell came , They Sung no more , or only Sung his Fame . Struck dumb they all admir'd the Godlike Man : The God-like Man Alas ! too soon retir'd , As he too late began . We beg not Hell our Orpheus to restore ; Had he been there , Their Sovereigns fear Had sent him back before . The pow'r of Harmony too well they knew , He long e're this had Tun'd their jarring Sphere , And left no Hell below . III. The Heav'nly Quire , who heard his Notes from high , Let down the Scale of Musick from the Sky : They handed him along , And all the way He taught , and all the way they Sung. Ye Brethren of the Lyre , and tunefull Voice , Lament his lot , but at your own rejoyce . Now live secure and linger out your days , The Gods are pleas'd alone with Purcell's Layes , Nor know to mend their Choice . This Ode is Sett to Musick by Dr. Blow , and may be bound up with this Collection . Another Ode on the same occasion . By a Person of Quality . ACcord thy Blessing to my bold Design , Thou best Inspirer of Harmonious Grief ; Thou , who among the tunefull Nine , In mournfull Melody art Chief . In Musick , wing'd with Sighs , I soar , A second Orpheus to deplore ; Second in Time , but First in Fame ; To him blind Fiction gave a Name . The truthless Tales , which srantick Poets tell Of Thebes , and moving Stones , and Journeys down to Hell , Were only Prophecies of Musick 's force , which we Have wonderfully seen fulfill'd in Thee . What mortal Harmony cou'd do No Mortal ever knew , Till thy transcendent Genius came , Whose strength surpass'd the Praises of Poetick flame : Whose Raptures will for ever want a Name . Out of thy Orb awhile ( Content to wander here below ) Thou did'st vouchsafe to bless our Isle , ( With high Commands from Heaven , for ought we know ) To try seditious Jarrs to reconcile . But Discord , in a frightfull form , With all her Retinue of War , The Drum , the Pulpit , and the Barr , The croaking Crowds tumultuous noise , And ev'ry hoarse Out-landish voice , Proclaim'd so loud th'impending Storm , That frighted hence , thou didst for Refuge fly , To reassume thy Station in the Sky : There Heavenly Carols to compose and sing , To Heavens harmonious King. Where rapt in transports of Extatic Song , Amidst th' inspir'd Seraphic throng , Crown'd with Coelestial ever-blooming Bays , Thou sitt'st dissolv'd in Hallelulahs . A Lamentation for the Death of Mr. Henry Purcell . Sett to Musick by his Brother , Mr. Daniel Purcell . The Words by N. Tate , Esq ; I. A Gloomy Mist o'erspreads the Plains More Gloomy Grief the Nymphs & Swains ; The Shepherd breaks his tunefull Reed , His pining Flocks refuse to feed . Silent are the Lawns and Glades , The Hills , the Vales , the Groves , the Dales , All silent as Elizian Shades . No more they Sing , no more Rejoyce , Eccho her self has lost her Voice . II. A Sighing Wind , a Murm'ring Rill , Our Ears with dolefull Accents fill : They are heard , and onely they , For sadly thus they seem to say , The Joy , the Pride of Spring is Dead , The Soul of Harmony is fled . Pleasure 's flown from Albion's Shore , Wit and Mirth 's bright Reign is o'er , Strephon and Musick are no more ! Since Nature thus pays Tribute to his Urn , How should a sad , forsaken Brother mourn ! An Ode for the Consort at York-Buildings , upon the Death of Mr. Purcell . By J. Talbot , Fellow of Trinity College in Cambridge . I. WEep , all ye Muses , weep o're Damon's Herse , And pay the grateful Honors of your Verse : Each mournfull Strain in saddest Accents dress , His Praises , and your Sorrows to express . Ye Sons of Art , lament your Learned Chief With all the Skill and Harmony of Grief ; To Damon's Herse your tunefull Tribute bring , Who taught each Note to speak , and every Muse to sing . II. Hark! how the Warlike Trumpet groans , The Warlike Trumpet sadly moans , Instructed once by Damon's Art To warm the active Soldier 's Heart , To soften Danger , sweeten Care , And smooth the rugged Toils of War , Now with shrill Grief , and melancholy Strains Of Damon's Death , and Albion's Loss complains . The sprightly Haut-boys , and gay Violin , By Damon taught to charm the list'ning Ear , To fill the ecchoing Theatre , And with rich Melody adorn each Scene ; Forget their native Chearfulness , Their wonted Air and Vigor to express , And in dead doleful Sounds a tuneless Grief confess . " Weep all ye Muses , weep o're Damon's Herse , " And pay the grateful Honors of your Verse . III. Mark how the melancholy Flute , Joins in sad Consort with the amorous Lute , Lamenting Damon's hapless Fate : From him they learn'd to tell the Lover's Care , With soft Complaints to move the cruel Fair , To calm her Anger , and to change her Hate . The various Organ taught by Damon's hand A holier Passion to command , The roving Fancy to refine , And fill the ravish'd Soul with Charms divine ; Now in loud Sighs employs its tuneful Breath , And bids each secret Sound conspire To mourn its darling Damon's Death , And with consenting Grief to form one num'rous Choir . " Weep all ye Muses , weep o're Damon's Herse , " And pay the grateful Honors of your Verse . IV. Cease , cease , ye Sons of Art , forbear To aggravate your own Despair : Cease to lament your Learned Chief With fruitless Skill , and hopeless Grief ; For sure , if Mortals here below Ought of Diviner Beings know , Damon's large Mind informs some active Sphere , And circles in melodious Raptures there ; Mix'd with his Fellow-Choristers above , In the bright Orbs of Harmony and Love. The following Lines were design'd for Mr. Purcell's Monument ; which being supply'd by a better Hand , the Author of this Inscription , in veneration to the Memory of that Great Master , prefixes it to his Golden Remains . Memoriae Sacrum H. P. En ! Marmor loquax ( Vix , heu ! prae dolore ) Lacrymas stillatim sudat ; Manes Purcelli sacros , Quisquis es , Viator , Siste ac venerare . Eheu ! quàm subitò Orbis Harmonici Procubuit Columen ! Angliacus ille Amphion , Orpheus , Apollo , Deus Harmoniae Italo-Anglus , Certè Corellius ; Artis Musicae Perquàm difficilis Facilè Coryphaeus . Per acuta Musicae victor ibat ovans . Et placidâ Animam compede alligavit . Eheu ! quàm brevi Praecox marcescit ingenium ! Invida quippe Natura Juvenem , Arte senescentem , corripuit . At — desine tandem Miserantis quaerimoniae : Non Omnis moritur , Vivunt Symphoniae immortales . Angelorum Chori Purcellum stipantes , Nectaris immemores , Mellitiores istos bibunt Aure sonos : Et plaudentes recinunt . Vivent , in aeternum Aeternúmque placebunt . Abi , viator , & , si Musicus , aemulare : Sed calcibus humum levitèr preme , No nascentes atteras Rosas . Johannes Gilbert A. M. Coll. Christ . Cantab. To the Memory of my Dear Friend Mr. Henry Purcell . MVSICK , the chiefest Good the Gods have giv'n , And what below still antedates our Heav'n , Just like a Spirit , by a lasting Spell , Consin'd to Italy , did Ages dwell . Long there remain'd a pleas'd & welcom Guest , Lov'd best to live where best she was exprest . By Glory led , at length to France she came , And there immortaliz'd great Luly's Name ; As yet a Stranger to the British Shore , Till Lock , and Blow , deep learn'd in all her Lore , And happy artfull Gibbons , forc't her o're . Where with young Humphries she acquainted grew , ( Our first reforming Music 's Richelieu ) Who dying left the Goddess all to You. There are , I own , a num'rous tunefull Throng , Composing still , though often in the wrong , And with Old Air set forth a fine New Song . These to thy juster Art have no pretence , For if they make a Tune they mar the Sense . If sparkling Air the taking Treble grace , 'T is murder'd quite by the Vngodly Bass . These to old Morly's Maxims counter run ; In Overtures rejoyce , in Jiggs they mourn : Whilst their too great Example , Mighty You , That you might still impartial Justice doe , At once to Music , and the Muses too ; Each Syllable first weigh'd , or short , or long , That it might too be Sense , as well as Song . Where e're thy well known Name with theirs is found , Is as if Cowley , up with Quarles were bound . Purcell ! the Pride and Wonder of the Age , The Glory of the Temple , and the Stage . When I thy happy Compositions view , The Parts so proper find , the Air so new , Your Cadence just , your Accent ever true ; How can I e're enough the Man admire , Who 's rais'd the British o're the Thracian Lyre ! That Bard cou'd make the Savage-kind obey , But thou hast tam'd yet greater Brutes than they : Who e're like Purcell cou'd our Passions move ! Who ever sang so feelingly of Love ! When Thyrsis does in dying Notes complain His hapless Love , and Phillis cold Disdain ; Brib'd by the magic Sounds that strike the Ear , We Parties turn , and blame the cruel Fair ; But when you tune your Lyre to MartialLays , In Songs Immortal , Mortal Hero's Praise ; Each Song its Hearers does to Hero's raise . Hail ! and for ever hail Harmonious Shade ! I lov'd thee Living , and admire thee Dead . Apollo's Harp at once our Souls did strike , We learnt together , but not learnt alike : Though equal care our Master might bestow , Yet only Purcell e're shall equal Blow : For Thou , by Heaven for wondrous things design'd , Left'st thy Companion lagging far behind . Sometimes a HERO in an Age appears ; But scarce a PURCELL in a Thousand Years . By H. Hall , Organist of Hereford . To the Memory of his much lamented Friend Mr. Henry Purcell . By H. P. HArk ! what deep Groans torment the Air , Is Nature sunk into Despair ; Or does the trembling Earth descry A fit of Falling-Sickness nigh ? O my Prophetick Fears ! he 's gone ! 'T was Nature's diapason'd Groan . Harmonious Soul ! took'st thou offence At Discords here , and fled'st from hence ? Or in thy Sacred Raptures hear The Musick of Heavens warbling Sphere ? Then mounted strait where Angels sing , And Love does dance on every String . For Balms thou need'st not rob the East , Nor strip the Phoenix Spicy Nest : For , O my Friend , thy charming Strains Perfume the Skies with sweeter Grains . Touch but thy Lyre the Stones will come , And dance themselves into a Tomb. A Table of the SONGS . Note , That such Songs as are thus marked † were never before Printed . A.

THe Ca╌res , the Car╌es of Lo╌vers , their A╌lar╌mes , their Sighs , their Tears have pow'r╌full Charms , and if so sweet their Tor╌ment is , ye Gods , ye Gods how Ravish╌ing , ye Gods how Ravish╌ing , how Ravishing the bliss , so soft , so gen╌tle , so soft , so gen╌tle is their pain ; 't is ev'n a plea╌sure to com╌plain . A Song in the Indian Emperor . I Look'd , I look'd , and saw within the Book of Fate , where ma╌ny Days did Low'r , when lo ! when lo ! one happy , happy Hour leapt up , leapt up , and smil'd , leapt up and smi╌l'd , to save thy sin╌king State. A Day shall come , when in thy pow'r thy cru╌el Foes shall be ; a Day shall come , when in thy pow'r thy cru╌el Foes shall be ; then shall the Land be free , and thou in Peace , and thou in Pea╌ce shalt Reign , but take , Oh! oh ! take that op╌portu╌ni╌ty , which once re╌fus'd , will never , never , never , come a╌gain ; will never , never , never , never , never , never , never , come a╌gain . A Song on a Ground , the Words by Sir George Ethridge . CEase , anxious World , your fruit╌less Pain ; cease , cease , cease anxious World , your fruit╌less Pain , to gra╌sp for╌bidden Store ; your study'd Labours shall prove vain , your Alchy╌my un╌blest ; whilst Seeds of far more pre╌cious Ore , are ripen'd , are ri╌pen'd in my Breast : My Breast , the Forge of happi╌er Love , where my Lu╌cin╌da , my Lu╌cin╌da lies ; and the rich Stock does so improve , as she her Art em╌ploys ; that ev'╌ry Smile and Touch she gives , turns all to Golden Joys . Since then we can such Treasures raise , let 's no Expence re╌suse ; in Love let 's lay out all our Days , how can we e're be Poore ? How can we e're be Poore ? How can we e're be Poor , when ev'╌ry Blessing that we use , be╌gets a thousand more ? When e'╌ry Blessing that we use , be╌gets a thousand more ? When ev'╌ry Blessing that we use , be╌gets a thousand more . A Seranading SONG . SYmphony for two Flutes . SO╌ft Notes , and gent╌ly rais'd , lest some har╌sh sound the fair Co╌rinna's Rest do rude╌ly wound ; dif╌suse a peace╌full calmness through each Part , touch all the Springs of a so╌ft Virgin 's Heart : Tune ev'ry Pulse , and kin╌dle all her Blood , and swell the tor╌ment of the li╌ving Flood ; gli╌de thro' her Dreams , and o're her Fan╌cy move , and stir up , stir up all the I╌mages of Love. Play the Trible of the Symphony then go on . Thus fe╌ble Man does his advantage take , to gain in Sleep what he must lose a╌wake ; when Night and Shades shut up Co╌rin╌na's Charms , then , then is the prop'rst time to take up Arms : But Night and Shades her Beau╌ties can't con╌ceal , Night has pe╌cu╌liar Gra╌ces to re╌veal . CHORUS . ( Flute . ) Ten thousand thousand Rap╌tures de attend , ten thousand thousand , ten thousand thousand Raptures , Ten thousand thousand Raptures do at╌tend , ten thousand thousand Raptures de at╌tend , do do attend this time , too strong for Fancy , too strong for Fancy and too full , and too at╌tend this time , too strong for Fancy , too strong for Fancy , and too full , and full , too full for Rhime ; too strong for Fan╌cy , and too full for Rhime . too full , too full for Rhime ; too strong for Fan╌cy , and too full for Rhime . SYmphony fo two FLUTES . How plea╌sant is this flow╌ry Plain and Grove ! What perfect Scenes of In╌no╌cence and Love ! As if the Gods , when all things here below were curs'd , reserv'd this place to let us know , how beau╌ti╌full the World at first was made , e're Mankind by Am╌bition was be╌tray'd . The hap╌py Swain in these e╌na╌mell'd Fields , pos╌sesses all the Good , possesses all , all the Good that Plenty yields ; pure without mixture , as it first did come , from the great Trea╌su╌ry of Nature's Womb ; free from Di╌sturbance here he lives at case , contented with a lit╌tle Flock's encrease , and cover'd with the gen╌tle Wings of Peace . No Fears , no Storms of War his Thoughts mo╌lest Ambition is a stranger to his Breast ; his Sheep , his Crook , and Pipe , are all his Store , he needs not , neither does he cover more . Oft to the si╌lent Groves he does retreat , whose Shades de╌fend him from the scor╌ching Heat : In these Re╌ces╌ses unconcern'd he lyes , whilst thro' the Boughs the whisp'╌ring Zephire flies , and the Woods Choristers on ev'ry Tree , lull him asleep , lull him asleep , with their swee╌t Har╌money . CHORUS in Five Parts . Ah happy , happy , hap╌py Life ! Ah happy , happy , happy , ah hap╌py Life ! Ah blest Re╌ Ah happy , happy , hap╌py Life ! Ah happy , happy , happy , ah hap╌py Life ! Ah blest Re╌ ╌treat , void of the Troubles , the Troubles , that attend the Great ! From Pride , and courtly Fol╌lies ╌treat , void of the Troubles , the Troubles , that attend the Great ! From Pride , and courtly Follies free , from all their gaudy , gau╌dy Pomps , and Va╌ni╌ty : No guilty Re╌ free , from all their gau╌dy Pomps , and Va╌ni╌ty : No guilty Re╌ ╌morse does their Pleasure an╌noy , nor di╌sturb the De╌lights of their in╌nocent Joy. Crown'd ╌morse does their Pleasure an╌noy , nor di╌sturb the De╌lights of their in╌nocent Joy. Monarchs , whom Ci╌ties and Kingdoms o╌bey , whom Ci╌ties and Kingdoms o╌bey , are not Crown'd Monarchs , whom Ci╌ties and Kingdoms o╌bey , whom Kingdoms o╌bey , are not half so con╌ten╌ted , are not half so con╌ten╌ted , or hap╌py as they . half so con╌ten╌ted , are not half so con╌ten╌ted , or hap╌py as they . The Conjurers Song in the 3d. Act of the Indian-Queen . YOU twice ten hundred De╌i╌ties , to whom , to whom we daily Sacrifice ; Ye pow'rs , ye pow'rs that dwell with Fates below , and see what Men are doom'd to doe ; where Elements in dis╌cord dwell , thou God of sleep a╌ri╌se and tell ; tell great Zempoalla , what strange , strange Fate must on her dis╌mall , dis╌mall Vi╌sion wait . By the croaking of the Toad , in their Caves that make a╌bode ; by the Croaking of the Toad , in their Caves that make a╌bode ; Earthy Dun , Earthy Dun that pa╌nts for breath , with her swe╌ll'd sides full , fu╌ll , fu╌ll of death ; By the Crested Adders Pride , by the Crested Adders Pride , that a╌long the Cliffs doe gli╌de , by the Visage , by thy Visage feir╌ce and black , by thy Deaths Head on thy back ; by thy twis╌ted Ser╌pents plac'd , for a Girdle rou╌nd thy Wast ; by the Hearts of Gold that deck thy Breast , thy Shoulders and thy Neck ; from thy Sleep╌ing Mansion rise , and open , and open thy un╌will╌ing Eyes . While bubbling Springs their Mu╌sick keep , while bubbling Springs their Mu╌sick keep , that use to Lull thee , use to Lull thee , Lull thee in thy Sleep , that use to Lull thee , Lull thee , Lull thee , use to Lull thee , Lull thee in thy Sleep . A Song with Hautboys . SYmphony for HAUTBOYS .

The Thraldom , the Words by Mr. Cowley . I Came , I saw , and was undone , Lightning did thro' my Bones and Mar╌row run ; a pointed Pain pierc'd deep my Heart , a swift col╌d trem╌bling seiz'd on ev'ry part ; my Head turn╌'d round , nor cou'd it bear the Poison tha╌t was entred there : So a de╌stroying Angel's breath blo╌ws in the Plague , and with it hasty Death ; such was the pain , did so be╌gin , to the poor wretch when Legion enter'd in : forgive me God I cry'd , for I flatter'd my self I was to dye ; but quickly to my cost I found , I found 't was cru╌el Love , 't was cruel Love not Death had made the wound ; but quickly to my cost I found , I found 't was cru╌el Love , 't was cru╌el Love not Death had made the wound . Death a more gen'rous rage does use , Quarter to all he Conquer's doth re╌fuse , whilst Love with Barbarous mercy saves the vanquish'd Lives to make them slaves ; whilst Love with Barbarous mercy saves the vanquish'd Li╌ves to make them slaves . I am thy slave , then let me know , hard Master , the great task I have to doe ; who Pride and Scorn do un╌der╌goe , in Tem╌pests and rou╌gh Seas thy Galleys row , they Pant , and Groan , and Sigh , but find their Sig╌hs encrease the an╌gry Wind ; like an E╌gyptian Tyrant , some thou wea'╌riest out in buil╌ding but a Tomb ; others with sad and ted╌'ous Art labour i' th Quarries of a Sto╌ny Heart : Of all the works thou dost assign , to all the sev'ral Slaves of thine , employ me migh╌ty Love to dig the Mine ; of all the works thou dost as╌sign , to all the Sev'ral Slaves of thine , employ me Migh╌ty Love to dig the Mine . A SONG in the Double-Dealer . CInthia frowns when e're I Woe her , yet she 's vex'd , she 's vex'd if I give o╌ver ; much , much she fears I shou'd , I shou'd undoe her , but much more , but much more , much mo╌re to lose her Lover ; thus , thus in doubting she re╌fu╌ses , and not Winning , and not Winning , thus , thus , thus she looses ; And not Winning , and not Winning , thus , thus , thus , thus , thus , thus she looses ; Prethee Cinthia look be╌hind you prethee Cinthia look behind you , Age and Wrinckles , Age and Wrinckles will o'retake you ; then , then too late , too late , too late , then , then too late De╌sire will find you ; when the po╌w'r does for╌sake you ; Think , think , oh ! think , think , think , oh ! think , oh ! sad con╌dition , to be past , yet wish , yet wish fru╌ition ; to be past , be past , yet wish , wish , wish fru╌ition , yet wish , wish , wish fru╌ition .

Slow . Could Innocence or Pi╌e╌ty , ex╌pi╌ring Life main╌tain ; or Art pre╌vail on De╌sti╌ny , Theron still , still had grac'd the Plain , belov'd of Pan , and dear to Phae╌bus Train ; Theron still had grac'd the Plain , belov'd of Pan , and dear to Phae╌bus Train . Muses , bring your Ro╌ses hither , strew them gent╌ly on his Hearse ; Muses , bring your Ro╌ses hither , strew them gent╌ly on his Hearse ; and when those short╌liv'd Glo╌ries wither , crown it with a lasting Verse , crown it with a la╌sting Verse ; and when those short╌liv'd Glories wither , crown it with a last╌ing Verse . Roses soon will fade away , Verse and Tomb must both de╌cay ; yet Theron's Name in spight of Fate 's Decree , and end╌less Fame shall meet ; no Verse so du╌ra╌ble can be , nor Ro╌ses half so sweet , nor Ro╌ses half so sweet . CHORUS . Then wast no more , no more ; then wast no more in Sighs your Breath , nor think his Then wast no more , no more ; then wast no more in Sighs your Breath , nor think his Fate was hard ; there 's no such thing as Suddain Death , to those that al╌ways Fate was hard ; there 's no such thing as Suddain Death , to those that al╌ways are pre╌par'd : Prepar'd like him by Har╌mo╌ny and Love , are pre╌par'd : Prepar'd like him by Har╌mo╌ny and Love , to joyn at first ap╌proach , to joyn at first approach the Sa╌cred Quire a╌bove ; to to joyn at first approach , at first approach the Sa╌cred Quire a╌bove ; joyn at first approach , to joyn at first ap╌proach , at first approach the Sa╌cred Quire a╌bove . to joyn at first approach , to joyn at first approach the Sa╌cred Quire a╌bove . A SONG in the 3d. Act of the Prophetess . WHen first I saw the Bri╌ght Aure lia's Eyes , when first I saw the Bri╌ght Aure╌lia's Eyes , a sudden trem╌bling did my Limbs sur╌prize , in ev'ry Vain , in ev'ry Vain I felt a tin╌gling , ting╌ling smart , and a co╌ld faintness , and a co╌ld faintness all a╌rou╌nd my Heart , all a╌rou╌nd my Heart .

The Rich RIVAL . Words out of Cowley . THey say you 're angry , and rant migh╌ti╌ly , because I Love the same as you , a╌las ! you 're ve╌ry Rich 't is true ; but prethee Fool ! what 's that to Love and me ? Your Land and Money let that serve , and know you 're more by that than you de╌serve When next I see my Fair one , she shall know how worth╌less thou art of her Bed ; and , Wretch , I 'll strike thee dumb , and dead with no╌ble Verse , not un╌der╌stood by you ; while thy sole Rhet'rick shall be Joynture and Jewels , and our Friends a╌gree . Pox of your Friends that dote and do╌mi╌neer , Lovers are bet╌ter Friends than they , let 's those in o╌ther things o╌bey , the Fates , and Stars , and Gods must go╌vern here : Vain name of Blood ! in Love , let none ad╌vise with a╌ny Blood , but with their own ; 'T is that which bids me this bright Maid a╌dore , no o╌ther Thought has had ac╌cess , did she now beg , I 'd Love no less ; and were she an Empress , I shou'd Love no more . Were she as just and true to me , ah , sim╌ple Soul ! what wou'd become of thee . A SONG in King Arthur . FAirest Isle of Isles Ex╌cel╌ling , Seat of Plea╌sures and of Loves ; Ve╌nus here will chuse her Dwelling , and for╌sake her Cy╌prian Groves . Cu╌pid , from his Fav'rite Nation , Care and En╌vy will Remove ; Jea╌lou╌sie , that poy╌sons Passion , and De╌spair that dies for Love. II. Gentle Murmurs , sweet Complaining , Sighs that blow the Fire of Love ; Soft Repulses , kind Disdaining , Shall be all the Pains you prove . Every Swain shall pay his Duty , Gratefull every Nymph shall prove ; And as these Excell in Beauty , Those shall be Renown'd for Love. A SONG in Bonduca , Sung by Miss Cross . OH ! Oh! lead me , lead me to some peace╌full Gloom , where none but sigh╌ing , none but sigh╌ing , sigh╌ing Lo╌vers come ; where the shrill , the shrill Trumpets never sou╌nd ; never , never , sound , but one E╌ter╌nal Hush , one e╌ter╌nal Hush goes round . There let me sooth my plea╌sing pain , there let me sooth my plea╌sing pain , and never , never think of War , never , never think of War , never , never think of War , never , never , never , never , never , never think of War a╌gain : what glo╌ry , what glo╌ry , what glo╌ry can , can a Lover have to Conquer , to Con╌quer , yet be still a slave ; what glo╌ry , what glo╌ry can a Lo╌ver have , to Conquer , to Conquer , to Conquer , yet be still , still a Slave , yet , yet be still , yet , yet be still , yet , yet be still , still a Slave ?

Or if more in╌flu╌encing is to be brisk and Ai╌ry , with a Step and a Bound , and a Frisk from the Ground , I will Trip like a╌ny Fairy ; As once on I╌da Dancing , were three Ce╌lestial Bodies , with an Air , and a Face , and a Shape , and a Grace , let me Charm like Beauty's Goddess ; with an Air , and a Face , and a Shape , and a Grace let me Charm like Beauty's Goddess . Slow . Ah! ah ! 't is in vain , 't is all , 't is all , all in Vain , Death and De╌spair must end the Fa╌tal pain ; cold Despair , cold , cold , De╌spair disguis'd like Snow and Rain , falls , falls , falls on my Breast , Bleak Winds in Tempests Blo╌w , in Tempests Blo╌w , my Veins all Shiver , and my Fingers Glow , my Pulse beats a Dead , Dead March ; my Pulse bea╌ts a Dead , Dead March for lost re╌pose , and to a so╌lid lump of Ice , my poor , poor fond Heart is froze . Or , say ye Pow'rs , say , say ye Pow'rs my Peace to Crown , shall I , shall I , shall I Thaw my self or drown ? shall I , shall I , shall I Thaw my self or drown ? a╌mongst the foaming Billows in╌creasing , all with Tears I shed on Beds of Ooze , and Chrystal Pillows , lay down , down , down , lay down , down , down my Love╌sick Head ; say , say ye Pow'rs , say , say ye Pow'rs my Peace to Crown , shall I , shall I , shall I Thaw my self or drown ? shall I , shall I , shall I Thaw my self , or drown ?

A Song on a Ground , the Words by Madam Phillips . H So╌li╌tude ! my swee╌test Choice ! Oh So╌li╌tude ! Oh So╌li╌tude ! my swee╌test , sweetest Choice ! Places de╌vo╌ted to the Night , re╌mote from Tumult , and from Noise , how ye my Rest╌less Thoughts de╌light ! Oh So╌li╌tude ! Oh So╌li╌ tude ! my swee╌test , sweetest Choice ! Oh Heavens ! what Con╌tent is mine , to see those Trees , which have appear'd , from the Na╌ti╌vi╌ty of Time ; and , which all A╌ges have re╌ver'd , to look to day as fresh and green , to look to day as fresh and green , as when their Beauty's first were seen ? Oh! Oh how a╌gree╌a╌ble a Sight these hanging Mountaines do ap╌pear , which th'un ╌hap╌py wou'd in╌vite , to fi╌nish all their Sorrows here ; when their hard , their hard Fate makes them endure , such Woes , such Woes , as on╌ly Death can Cure. Oh! Oh how I So╌li╌tude a╌dore ! Oh! Oh how I So╌li╌tude a╌dore , that E╌lement of no╌blest Wit , where I have learn'd , where I have learn'd A╌pollo's Love , without the pains , the pai╌ns , to study it : For thy sake I in Love am grown , with what thy fancy , thy fancy does pursue ; but when I think upon my own , I hate it , I hate it , for that reason too ; because it needs must hinder me from seeing , from seeing , and from serving thee . Oh So╌li╌tude ! Oh how I So╌li╌tude A╌dore ! Sighs for our late Sovereign King Charles the Second . IF Pray'rs and Tears , the Shields the Church of England on╌ly bears , in some great Ex╌igence of State , cou'd those , cou'd those have warded off the blows of Fate , we had not fall'n , we had not sunk so low under the gre╌vous heavy weight , the pressures of this day 's sa╌d o╌verthrow . Oh! Oh! how the first amazing Blow bow'd down , bow'd down each Loyal Head , and as we trem╌bling stood , fixt like a standing Water all our Blood , in ev'ry Face you might such for╌rows Read , that what the Prophet Wish'd but cou'd not show , was in our mourn╌full Land made good ; all Eyes as Rivers swell╌'d , did strangely o╌verflow , our weepings seem'd increas'd in╌to a╌no╌ther Flood : Thus , thus Uni╌ver╌sal was our Grief , and in those Agonies of our Souls , we lay till the kin╌d Heav'ns roll╌'d the Cloud a╌way , and gave us some faint , some faint glim'rings of re╌lief : The Waters then a╌bated for a while , and welcome , wel╌come joy╌s hung hov╌'ring o're our drooping Isle , Oh! then , Oh! then , what Pi╌ous Groans , what Pi╌ous Sighs , the Church sent up be╌yond the yielding Skies ; Lord save our King , ev'ry good Subject cries , whilst ev'ry bro╌ken Hearts Al╌tar and Sacrifice ; Lord save the King was never said , with greater fer╌vency than now , not in the Chapel only , but the Streets , no sort of People cou'd you meet , but did De╌vout╌ly bow , and as Devoutly Pray'd ; and yet no Pharisaick Hypocrites , in corners with well guided Zeal their Orisons were made ; Al╌bion is now become a Holy Land , and wages Ho╌ly Warr to stay the threat'╌ning Hand ; Oh! Oh! that we might pre╌vail , such well ap╌pointed Numbers never us'd to fail , Oh! Oh! that we might prevail , Numbers of Old by a Wise Prelate led , with Arms stretch't tow'rds Heav'n took the Field , no other Weapons did those Champions weild , but leavy Boughs ( and Pray'rs no doubt , ) we Read to those a mighty , a mighty Conquerour did yeild , a╌lasswe'd Conquer'd too , but for our former Crimes , Treasons , Rebellions , Perjury's , wich all , with all the in╌i╌quities of the Times , whole Legions doe against us rise , these , these are the powers that strike the Kingdom dead , and now the Crown is fall'n , now the Crown is fall'n from our Jo╌si╌ah's Head. A SONG in Henry the Second ; Sung by Mrs. Dyer . IN vain , in vain , in vain , in vai╌n ' gainst Love , in vai╌n I strove , Reason nor Honour , Reason nor Honour could its for╌ce re╌move ; Tho' Honour fresh objections brought , and each had won╌d'rous Sense I thought , each had won╌d'rous Sense I thought : Yet Love , Love , Love more stro╌ng , yet Love , Love , Love more stro╌ng , tho' not so wise , be╌lyes my Tongue in my fond , my fond , my fo╌nd Eyes .

A SONG upon a Ground .

What 's this , ye Gods ! what can it be ! re╌mains there still an E╌ne╌my ! Bold Honour stands up in the Gate , and wou'd yet ca╌pi╌tu╌late . Have I o'recome all re╌al Foes , and shall this Phantom me op╌pose ? Noi╌sy nothing , stalking Shade , by what Witchcraft wert thou made , thou emp╌ty cause of so╌lid Harms ? But I shall find out Counter Charms , thy Ai╌ry Devil╌ship to remove from this Cir╌cle here of Love : Sure I shall rid my self of thee , by the Night's ob╌scurity , and ob╌scu╌rer secre╌cy . Un╌like to ev╌ry o╌ther Spright , thou at╌tempt'st not Men to affright , nor appear'st , nor appear'st but in the Light. BESS OF BEDLAM . FRom silent Shades and the E╌lizium Groves , where sad de╌parted Spirits mou╌rn their Loves from Chrystall streams , and from that Country where Jove Crowns the Feilds with Flowers all the year , poor Sense╌less Bess , cloath'd in her Raggs and fol╌ly , is come to cure her Love╌sick Me╌lanchol╌ly : Bright Cyn╌thia kept her Re╌vells late , while Mab the Fai╌ry Queen did Dance , and O╌be╌ron did sit in State , when Mars at Ve╌nus ran his Lance ; In yonder Cow╌slip lies my Dear , entomb'd in li╌quid Gemms of Dew , each day I 'le wa╌ter it with a Tear , its fa╌ding Blossom to re╌new : For since my Love is dead , and all my Joys are gone ; poor Bess for his sake a Garland will make , my Mu╌sick shall be a Groan , I 'le lay me down and dye with╌in some hollow Tree , the Raven and Cat , the Owl and Bat , shall war╌ble for╌th my E╌le╌gy . Did you not see my Love as he past by you ? His two flaming Eyes , if he come nigh you , they will scorch up your Hearts ; Ladies be╌ware ye , lest he shou'd dart a Glance that may ensnare ye ; Hark! Hark! I hear old Charon bawl , his Boat he will no longer stay , the Furies lash their Whips and call , come , come a╌way ; come , come a╌way . Poor Bess will return to the place whence she came , since the World is so Mad she can hope for no Cure ; for Lov'es grown a Bubble , a Shadow , a Name , which Fools do ad╌mire , and Wise Men en╌dure . Cold and Hungry am I grown , Am╌bro╌sia will I feed up╌on , drink Nectar still and Sing ; Who is con╌tent , does all Sorrow pre╌vent : And Bess in her Straw , whilst free from the Law , in her thoughts is as great , great as a King. A single SONG , the Words by Mr. Motteux . STript of their green our Groves ap╌pear , our Vales lye bu╌ried deep in Snow ; the blow╌ing North controuls the Aire , a nipping cold chills all be╌low . The Frost has gla╌z'd our deep╌est streams , Phoebus withdraw╌'s his kind╌ly Beams , Phoebus withdraw╌'s his kind╌ly Beams . Yet Winter blest be thy return , thou 'st brought the Swain for whom I us'd to mourn ; and in thy Ice with plea╌sing flames we burn , and in thy Ice with plea╌sing Flames we burn . 2d . Verse . Too soon the Suns re╌vi╌ving heat will thaw thy Ice and melt thy Snow ; Trum╌pets will sound , and Drums will beat , and tell me the dear , dear Youth must goe : Then must my wea╌k un╌wil╌ling Arms , resign him up╌ to stronger Charms , resign him up╌ to stronger Charms : What Flowers , what Sweets , what Beauteous thing , when Damon's gone , can ease or pleasure bring ? Win╌ter brings Damon , Win╌ter is my Sprin╌g ; Win╌ter bring Damon , Win╌ter is my Spring . Love Arms himself , a single SONG . LOve Arm╌s him╌self in Celia's Eyes , when e're weak Rea╌son wou'd re╌bell ; Love Arm╌s himself in Ce╌lia's Eyes , when e're wea╌k Rea╌son wou'd re╌bell ; and ev'ry time I dare , I da╌re be Wise , a╌las , a╌las , a╌las , a╌las , a deep╌er wound I feel , re╌peated thoughts , re╌peated thoughts present the ill , which see╌ing I must still , which see╌ing I must still , I must still , still , still endure ; They tell me , they tell me , they tell me Love has Darts to kill , and Wisdom has no pow'r , and Wisdom has no pow'r , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , and Wisdom has no pow'r , no pow'r to cure . Then cruel , cruel Reason give me , give me , give me rest ; quit , quit in my Heart thy fe╌ble hold , goe try thy Force , go try thy Force in Ce╌lia's Breast , for that is disingag'd and col╌d , that is dis╌in╌gag'd and cold ; there all , all , all , there all , all thy Nicest Arts em╌ploy ; Confess thy self , confess thy self her Beau╌ty's Slave , and argue whilst she may de╌stroy , how gre╌at , how gre╌at , how God╌like 't is to save . The last SONG Mr. Henry Purcell Sett before his Sickness . LOve╌ly , Lovely Al╌bi╌na , LOve╌ly , Lovely Al╌bi╌na's come , co╌me a╌shore , to enter her just , just claim ; Ten times more Char╌ming , Ten times more Char╌ming than be╌sore ; To her Im╌mor╌tal Fame .

SONG , Sung in the Play call'd , The Massacre in Paris . THy Genius lo ! lo ! from his sweet Bed of rest , adorn'd with Jessimin , and with Ro╌ses drest ; the Pow'rs Divine has rais'd to stop thy Fate , a true Repentance never , never comes too late , a true Repentance never , never comes too late : So soon as Born she made her self a Shrowd , the fleecy Man╌tle of a weep╌ing Cloud , and swift as thought her Ai╌ry Journey took , swi╌ft as thought her Ai╌ry Journey took ; her Hand Heav'ns Azure Gate with trem╌bling Struck ; the Stars did with a╌maze╌ment on her look , the Stars did with a╌mazement on her look , did with a╌mazement on her look ; She told thy Story in so sad a Tone , She told thy Story in so sa╌d a Tone , the Angels start from Bliss and ga╌ve a groan . But Charles be╌wate , Oh! dal╌ly not , Oh! dal╌ly not , be╌ware , Oh! dal╌ly not with Heav'n ; for af╌ter this no Pardon , no , no , no Par╌don shall be giv'n ; Oh! dally not , Oh! dal╌ly not with Heavn'n , for af╌ter this , no , no , no Pardon shall be giv'n , no , no , no Pardon shall be given .

I 'd have ye , I 'd have ye to know I 'm not made of that mold ; I tell you a╌gain , a╌gain and a╌gain , Maids must never , must never Kiss no Men ; no , no , no , no , no , no Kissing at all ; no , no , no , no , no , no Kissing at all ; I 'le not Kiss , till I Kiss you for good and all ; She.

He. shou'd you give me a score , 't wou'd not les╌sen your store , then bid me , bid me chearful╌ly , chearful╌ly Kiss and take my fill , and take my fill , my fill of the Bliss ; She. I 'le not trust you so far I know you too well , shou'd I give you an Inch you 'd soon , you 'd soon take an Ell ; then Lord like you Rule and Lau╌gh , then Lord like you Rule and Lau╌gh at the Fool ; no , no , no , no , no , no Kissing at all , no , no , no , no , no , no Kissing at all ; I 'le not Kiss , till I Kiss you for good and all : He. So small a Re╌quest you must not , you cannot , you shall not de╌ny ; nor will I ad╌mit of a╌nother , a╌no╌ther re╌ply ; you must not , you shall not de╌ny ; you must not , you can╌not , you shall not de╌ny .

A Dialogue in the Richmond Heiress , Sung by Mr. Reading , and Mrs. Ayliff . He. BEhold , behold the Man that with Gigan╌tick Might dares , dares , dares Combat Heav'n a╌gain sto╌rm , Joves bright Palace put the Gods to flig╌ht , Chaos renew and make perpe╌tu╌al Night ; Come on , come on , come on , come on ye Fighting , Fighting fools , come on , come on , come on , come on ye Fighting , Fighting fools that petty , petty Jars maintain , that petty , petty Jars main╌tain ; I 've all , all the Wars of Europe , all the Wars of Europe in my Brain ; I 've all , all , all the Wars of Europe in my Brain . She. Who 's he that talks of War , when charming , charming Beau╌ty comes in , who 's sweet , sweet , sweet Face di╌vine╌ly fair , e╌ter╌nal plea╌sure , e╌ter╌nal plea╌sure , e╌ter╌nal plea╌sure comes ; when I appear , the Martial , Martial God a Conquer'd Victim lyes ; o╌beys each glance , each awfull nod , and dreads the light╌ning of my killing Eyes ; more , more than the fiercest , the fiercest , the fiercest thun╌der in the Skies . He. Ha! ha ! now , now , now , now we mount up high , now , now we mount up high , the Sun 's bright God and I , Charge , Charge , Charge on the Azure , Charge on the Azure dawns of am╌ple Sky , See , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see , how th'im ╌mortal spirits ru╌n ; see , see , see , see , see , see , see , see how th'im╌mortal spirits ru╌n ; pur╌sue , pursue , pur╌sue , pursue , pursue , pursue , pursue , pursue , pursue , pursue , Drive e'm o're the burning Zone , drive e'm o're the burning Zone , from thence come row╌ling down , come row╌ling down , and search the Globe below , with all the gulphy Main , to find my lost , my wan╌dring sense , my wan╌dring Sense a╌gain . She. By this disjoynted matter that crowds thy Pe╌ri╌cranium , I nicely have found , that thy Brain is not sound , and thou shalt be , and thou shalt be my Companion . He. Come , come , come , come , come , come , let us plague the World then ; I em╌brace the blest oc╌casion , for by instinct I find thou art one of the kind , thou art one of the kind , that first brought in , that first brought in Dam╌nation . III. She. My Face has Heaven Inchanted , With all the Sky-born Fellows . Jose press'd to my Breast , and my Bosom he kiss'd , Which made old Juno jealous . IV. He. I challeng'd Grisly Pluto . But the God of Fire did shun me . Witty Hermes I drub'd , round the Pole with my Club , For breaking Jokes upon me . Chorus of both . Than Mad , very Mad , very Mad let us be , For Europe does now with our Frenzy agree , And all things in Nature are mad too as we . V. She. I found Apollo Singing , The tune my Rage Increases ; I made him so blind , with a look that was kind , That he broke his Lyre to pieces . VI. He. I drank a Health to Venus , And the Mole on her white Shoulder . Mars flinch'd at the Glass , and I threw 't in his Face , Was ever Heroe bolder ? VII . She. 'T is true , my dear Alcides , Things tend to dissolution , The Charms of a Crown , and the Crafts of the Gown , Have brought all to Confusion . VIII . He. The haughty French begun it , The English Wite pursue it . She. The German and Turk still go on with the Work , He. And all in time will rue it . Cho. Then mad , very mad , &c. Turn over to the CHO CHORUS . Then Mad ve╌ry Mad let us be , ve╌ry Mad , very Mad let us be , ve╌ry Then Mad , very Mad , very Mad very Mad let us be , ve╌ry Mad , very Mad , very Mad , very Mad , let us be , for Europe does now with our Frenzy a╌gree ; and Mad , very Mad , very Mad , very Mad , let us be , for Europe does now with our Frenzy a╌gree ; all things in Nature are Mad , Mad , Mad , and all things in Nature are Mad , Mad , Mad , are and all things in Nature are Mad , Mad , Mad , and all things in Nature are Mad , Mad , Mad , are Mad , Mad , Mad , are Mad too as we , are Mad too as we . Mad , Mad , Mad , are Mad , Mad , Mad , are Mad too as we , are Mad too as we . A Two Part SONG . LEt the dreadfull Engines of e╌ter╌nal will , the Thun╌der Ro╌ar and crook╌ed Lightning kill , my Rage is hot , is hot , is ho╌t as theirs , as fa╌tall too , and dares as horrid , and dares as horrid , horrid ex╌e╌cu╌tion do : Or let the Frozen North its ran╌cour show , within my Breast , sar , sar grea╌ter Tem╌pests grow ; de╌spair's more cold , more co╌ld than a╌ll the winds can blow . Can nothing , can no╌thing warm me , can nothing , can no╌thing warm me ? yes , yes , yes , yes , Lucinda's Eyes ; yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , Lu╌ cinda's Eyes ; yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , Lucinda's Eyes ; there , there , there , there , there Et╌ na , there , there , there , there Ves╌suvio lyes , to fur╌nish Hell with flames , that mount╌ing , mounting reach the Skyes ; Can nothing , can nothing warm me ? can nothing , can nothing warm me ? yes , yes , yes , yes , Lucinda's Eyes ; yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , Lucinda's Eyes ; yes , yes , yes , yes , yes , Lucinda's Eyes . Ye pow'rs I did but use her name , and see how all , and see how all the Meteors flame blew lightning flashes round the Court of Sol , and now the Globe more feircely burns than once at Phaeton's fall . Ah! — ah ! — where , where are now , where are now , where are now those flow╌'ry Groves , where Zephir's fragrant Winds did play ? ah ! where are now , where are now , where are now those flow╌'ry Groves , where Zephir's fragrant Winds did play ? where guarded by a Troop of Loves , the fair , the fair Lu╌cin╌da sleeping lay ; there Sung the Nightingale , and Lark , around us all was sweet and gay , we ne're grew sad till is grew dark , nor nothing fear'd but short╌ning day . I glow , I glow , I glow , but 't is with hate , why must I burn , why must I burn , why , why must I burn for this in╌grate ? why , why must I burn for this in╌grate ? Cool , coo╌le it then , coo╌le it then , and raile , since nothing , no╌thing will pre╌vaile . When a Woman Love pretends , 't is but till she gains her ends , and for Better , and for Worse , is for Marrow of the Purse , where she Jilts you o're and o're , proves a Slattern or a Whore ; this hour will teize , will teize and vex , will teize , will teize and vex , and will Cuckold ye the next ; they were all contriv'd in spight , to tor╌ment us , not de╌light , but to Scold , to Scold , and Scratch , and Bite , and not one of them proves right ; but all , all are Witches by this light ; And so I fair╌ly bid 'em , and the World good night , good night , good night , good night , good night , good night .

TOGETHER , With such Symphonies for Violins or Flutes , As were by Him design'd for any of them : AND A THROUGH-BASS to each SONG . Figur'd for the Organ , Harpsichord , or Theorbo-Lute .

LONDON : Printed by William Pearson , for Henry Playford at His Shop in the Temple-Change , Fleet-street . 〈◊〉 . To the Right Honourable Charles , Lord Hallifax , Auditor of His Majesties Exchequer , &c. MY LORD , I Shou'd be unjust to the Memory of the admired Purcell , and set too Small a Value on His Works , shou'd I put them under any Patronage but Your own . For Your Lordship has a Double Title to these Papers , both as You are the best Judge , as well as the Greatest Encourager of Poesy and Musick . 'T is but fit this Great Master of the Age , that has stood the Test of Your Judgment , should Claim Your Protection : Since no Greater Character can be given of any Composition , than that it has pleas'd so Exquisite a Taste as Your Lordship's . But I am not so vain , as to attempt a Panegyrick on Your Lordship , nor to Expatiate on the several Excellencies of this Celebrated Author : These are Subjects for the Sublimest Pens , and are already transmitted to Posterity . But my design here , is to pay my Gratitude to Your Lordship , for the many Favours I have receiv'd ; In a Present whose own Worth , is its Apology , and whose Native Graces will render it Acceptable . And to add , if possible to the Fame of Purcell , and Endear him more to the World : Which can be only done , by prefixing the Name of Mountague to His Works . My Lord , I am Your Lordships most Humble and Obliged Servant , HENRY PLAYFORD . The Bookseller to the READER . THe late Publication of these Excellent Performances in Musick is sufficiently aton'd for , by the Care that has been taken in the Collection of 'em ; and I cannot but think I have made amends enough to the Purchaser in the Choice of ' em . The great Charge I have been at ; the Diligence I have made use of to obtain the Assistance of Friends , and the Dearness of Paper in which these Admirable Composures are transmitted to the Publick . are sufficient Excuses : And I shall insist upon that Subject no farther , Than that as I have been always employed in promoting the encrease of things of this Nature , and contributed to the utmost towards their Encouragement , so I shall still make it my Endeavours to go on with so Laudable an Undertaking . I might indeed make my Compliments in relation to the greatness of my Expences in being Beneficial to the Publick , and Expose some People that build upon my Foundation ; but as I desire the Readers Candour , it 's my Business to make use of it in Respect to others , only I shall take notice , I have more than enough Discouragement to drop the pursute of Obliging my Country , since Foreigners meet with a reception that is inconsistent with the Interest of one , that has the Honour to be a Native . But let 'em Undersell me as long as they please , and Transplant their Foreign Musick into these Climates , the Judicious will be of my side , when they make an Estimate of Mr. Purcell's Works , which are equal to those of the Best Masters of Italy , and conclude , that I , who have now made a compleat Collection of all his Choicest Performances , deserve a better Entertainment from the Hands of the Publick , than any Pretenders whatsoever . H. P. On the DEATH of the late Famous Mr. HENRY PVRCELL , Author of the First and Second Books of Orpheus Britannicus . MAke room ye happy Natives of the Sky , Room for a Soul , all Love and Harmony ; A Soul that rose to such Perfection here , It scarce will be advanc'd by being there . Whether ( to us by Transmigration given ) He once was an Inhabitant of Heav'n , And form'd for Musick , with Diviner Fire Endu'd , Compos'd for the Celestial Choir ; Not for the Vulgar Race of Light to hear , But on High-days to glad th' Immortal Ear. So in some leisure hour was sent away , ( Their Hour is here a Life , a Thousand Years their Day . Sent what th' Aetherial Musick was to show , And teach the wonders of that Art below . Whether this might not be , the Muse appeals To his Composures , where such Magick dwells , As Rivals Heav'nly Skill , and human Pow'r excels . Vile as a Sign-post Dauber's Painting show's , Compar'd with Titian's Work , or Angelo's ; Languid and low , as Modern Rhime appears , When Virgil's matchless Strain has tun'd our Ears , So seem to him the Masters of our Isle , His Inspiration , theirs but Mortal Toil : They to the Ear , he to the Soul does dive , From Anger save , and from Despair revive : Not the smooth Spheres in their Eternal Rounds , The work of Angels , warble softer Sounds . What is that Heav'n of which so much we hear ( The happy Region gain'd with Praise and Pray'r ) What but one unmolested Transport , which No Notion , or Idea e'er cou'd reach ? As it appears in Vision , 't is but this , To be opprest with Joy , and strive with Bliss ! Confounded with the Rays of ceaseless day , We know not what we think , or see , or say ! Endless Profusion ! Joy without decay ! So , when his Harmony arrests the Far , We lose all thought of what , or how , or where ! Like Love , it warms , like Beauty , does controul , Like hidden Magick seizes on the whole , And while we hear , the Body turns to Soul ! From what blest Spring did he derive the Art , To sooth our Cares , and thus command the Heart ! Time list'ning stands to hear his artful Strain , And Death does at the Dying , throw his shafts in vain ; Fast to th' Immortal part the Mortal cleaves , Nor , till he leave to Charm , the Body leaves . Less Harmony than his , did raise of Old The Theban Wall , and made an Age of Gold. How in that Mystick order cou'd he join So different Notes ! make Contraries combine , And out of Discord , cull such Sounds Divine . How did the Seeds ly quickning in his Brain ! How were they born without a Parent 's Pain ? He did but Think , and Musick wou'd arise , Dilating Joy , as Light o'erspreads the Skies ; From an Immortal Source , like that , it came ; But Light we know , — this Wonder wants a Name ! What art thou ? From what Causes dost thou spring O Musick ! thou Divine Mysterious thing ? Let me but know , and knowing , give me Voice to Sing . Art thou the warmth in Spring that Zephire breaths , Painting the Meads , and whistling thro' the Leaves ? The happy Season that all Grief exiles , When God is Pleas'd , and the Creation smiles ? Or ar't thou Love , that Mind to Mind imparts , The endless Concord of agreeing Hearts ? Or ar't thou Friendship , yet a nobler Flame , That can a dearer way make Souls the same ? Or ar't thou rather , which dos all transcend , The Centre where at last the Blest ascend ; The Seat where Halelujah's never end ? Corporeal Eyes won't let us clearly view , But either thou art Heav'n , or Heav'n is you ! And thou my Muse ( how e'er the Criticks blame ) Pleas'd with his Worth , and faithful to his Fame , Art Musick while y' are hallowing Purcell's Name . On other Subjects you Applause might miss , But Envy will it self be Charmd with this . How oft has Envy at his Ayrs been found T' admire , enchanted with the Blissful sound ? Ah! cou'd you quite forget his early Doom , I wou'd not from the Rapture call you home : But gently from your steepy height descend , You 've prais'd the Artist , and now mourn the Friend ! Ah most unworthy ! shou'd we leave unsung Such wondrous Goodness in a Life so young . In spight of Practice , he this Truth has shown , That Harmony and Vertue shou'd be one . So true to Nature , and so just to Wit , His Musick was the very Sense you Writ . Nor were his Beauties to his Art confin'd ; So justly were his Soul and Body join'd , You 'd think his Form the Product of his Mind . A Conqu'ring sweetness in his Vizage dwelt , His Eyes wou'd warm , his Wit like Lightning melt , But those no more must now be seen , and that no more be felt . Pride was the sole aversion of his Eye , Himself as Humble as his Art was High. Ah! let him Heav'n ( in Life so much ador'd ) Be now as universally Deplor'd ! The Muses Sigh'd at his approaching Doom , Amaz'd and raving , as their own were come ! Art try'd the last Efforts , but cou'd not save — But sleep , O sleep , in an unenvy'd Grave ! In Life and Death the noblest Fate you share ; Poets and Princes thy Companions are , And both of 'em were thy Admirers here . There rest thy Ashes — but thy nobler Name Shall soar aloft , and last as long as Fame . Nor shall thy Worth be to our Isle confin'd , But flie and leave the lagging day behind . Rome that did once extend its Arms so far , Y 'ave conquer'd in a nobler Art than War : To its proud Sons but only Earth was giv'n , But thou hast triumph'd both in Earth and Heav'n . And now Farewel ! nor Fame , nor Love , nor Art , Nor Tears avail ! — we must for ever part ! For ever ! dismal Accent ! what alone ! But that can tell our Loss , or reach our Moan ! What term of Sorrow Preference dare contend ? What ? but the tenderest dearest name of — Friend ! Hail him ye Angels to the Elisian Shoar , The noblest Freight that ever Charon bore , Tho Orpheus and Amphion pass'd before . His Skill as far exceeds , as had his Name Been known as long , he wou'd have done in Fame . Tho the wide Globe for tuneful Souls you cull , Hope no more such , — the happy Quire is full . The Sacred Art can here arrive no higher , And Heaven it self no further will Inspire . R. G. To my Friend , Mr. Henry Playford , on his Publication of Mr. Henry Purcell's Orpheus Britannicus ; Which is now render'd Compleat , by the addition of this Second Book AS when the God of Numbers charms the Throng , And gives Melodious Tunes to every Song , The Voice deals Inspiration and Desire To ev'ry Muse , to fill the Sacred Choir ; Each of the Nine , appears with her Applause , And justifies the God and Musick 's Cause ; As ev'ry tender Accent gently moves , And shews their Duty , as it shews their Loves ; Ev'n so must I with Infant Notes repair , And wanting Judgment , prove I want no Care. What Great Apollo does to us deny , He let this Chosen Son of his enjoy : We Poets sow the seed of Fame in vain , T' expect a Crop while we alive remain ; He puts us off till Death , and then will give , When we are not permitted to receive . Ah! who 'd be pleas'd to have these Temples Crown'd Whose Brains are lost , and Heads are under ground . But Purcell's Privilege was vastly more , He planted all the Laurels which he wore , And heard his wide Applause fly all around , For still his Fame did with his Musick sound . All this to Purcell , but there 's something due To Purcell's and Apollo's Friend , to you , From injuries of Time you save his Lays , And rescue him from Fate , to claim our Praise . Oh! cou'd you but the like return receive , And have our Gratitude for what you give , Rewarded for your Toil , exchange your Pains , Not only for our Thanks , but for your Gains , While Interloping French and Dutch oppose , And shew themselves both your and Musick 's Foes . But it 's in vain to hope , we 're all abus'd , Fond of the Riff-raff , which the World tefus'd : Each Foreign Fool sits wheedling in his Shop , And Grinning entertains the thoughtless Fop , Whose love for Trifles , makes him rove from Home , And even hug Diseases brought from Rome . Let these , my Friend , a while pursue their Trade . Your Province and your Right alone Invade , Their feeble Malice but your Fame secures , And Publishes both Purcell's Works and Tours . P. K. To Mr. Henry Playford , on his Publishing the Second Part of Orpheus Britannicus . NExt to the Man who so Divinely Sung , Our Praise , kind Playsord , does to thee belong , For what you gave us of the Bard's before , Vast Thanks were due , and now you merit more . Tho' Purcell living , had our utmost Praise , And dead , almost does Adoration raise , Yet He , even He , had scarce preserv'd a Name , Did not your Press perpetuate his Fame , And shew'd the coming Age as in a Glass , What our all-pleasing Britain's Orpheus was . Go on my Friend , nor spare no Pains nor Cost , Let not the least Motett of his be lost ; Whose meanest Labours your Collections show , Excells our very best Performance now . Duly each day , our young Composers Bait us , With most insipid Songs , and sad Sonato's . Well were it , if the World woul'd lay Embargo's On such Allegro's and such Poco Largo's : And would Enact it , There presume not any , To Teize Correlli , or Burlesque Bassani ; Nor with Division , and ungainly Graces , Eclipse good Sense , as weighty Wiggs do Faces . Then honest Cross might Copper cut in vain , And half our Sonnet-sellers Starve again : Thus while they Print their Prick'd-Lampoons to live , Do you the World some piece of Purcell's give , Such as the nicest Critick must Commend , For none dare Censure that which none can Mend. By this my Friend , you 'll get immortal Fame , When still with Purcell we read Playford's Name . H. Hall , Organist of Hereford .
