by Thomas Augustine Arne (1710 - 1778)
In infancy
Language: English
In infancy our hopes and fears Were to each other known But friendship on our riper years, has twin'd our hearts in one. O clear him then from this offence Thy love thy duty prove, Restore him to that innocence Which first inspir'd my love.
