The day that saw thy beauty rise Matches base text
Language: English
The Day that saw thy Beauty rise Shall sacred be for ever blest! The World in awe of Delias Eyes Shall grow as gentle as her Breast. By all our Vows and hid Desires, O may our Loves be still the same! I glory in the pleasing Fires, If Delia share a mutual Flame!

- Set to music by William Jackson (1730 - 1803), "The day that saw thy beauty rise", published [1797] [ vocal duet for two voices and continuo ], from Twelve canzonets, for two voices, no. 2, London, Harrison
