11The night her silent sable wore, The night her silent sable wore,
22And gloomy were the skies, And gloomy were the skies,
33Of glitt'ring stars appear'd no more, Of glittering stars appeared no more
44Than those in Nelly's eyes. Than those in Nelly's eyes ;
55When to her father's door I came, When to her father's gate I came,
66Where I had often been, Where I had often been,
77I begg'd my fair my lovely dame, And begged my fair, my lovely dame,
88To rise, and let me in. To rise and let me in.

1010But she, with accents all divine, Fast locked within my close embrace,
1111Did my fond suit reprove; She trembling stood ashamed --
1212And while she chid my rash design, Her swelling breast, and glowing face,
1313She but inflam'd my love. And every touch inflamed.
1414Her beauty oft had pleas'd before, With look and accents all divine
1515While her bright eyes did roll. She did my warmth reprove, --
1616But virtue only had the pow'r The more she spoke, the more she looked,
1717To charm my very soul. The warmer waxed my love.

1919Then who would cruelly deceive, 0 then beyond expressing,
2020Or from such beauty part ? Transporting was the joy !
2121I lov'd her so, I could not leave I knew no greater blessing,
2222The charmer of my heart. So blest a man was I :
2323My eager fondness I obey'd, And she all ravish'd with delight,
2424Resolv'd she should be mine, Bid me oft come again,
2525Till Hymen to my arms convey'd And kindly vowed that every night
2626My treasure so divine. She'd rise and let me in.
2727
2828Now happy in my Nelly's love, Full soon soon I returned again
2929Transporting is my joy, When stars were streaming free,
3030No greater blessing can I prove; Oh slowly, slowly came she down,
3131So bless'd a man am I. And stood and gazed on me :
3232For beauty may a while retain Her lovely eyes with tears ran o'er,
3333The conquer'd flutt'ring heart, Repenting her rash sin --
3434But virtue only is the chain And aye she mourn'd the fatal hour
3535Holds, never to depart.She rose and loot me in.

37But who could cruelly deceive,
38Or from such beauty part ?
39I lov'd her so, I could not leave
40The charmer of my heart :
41We wedded, and I thought me blest
42Such loveliness to win ;
43And now she thanks the happy hour
44She rose and loot me in.
