Matthew Prior

Songs Set to Music: 3. Set by Mr. De Fesch

Strephonetta, why d’ye fly me,
With such rigour in your eyes:
Oh! ’tis cruel to deny me,
Since your charms I so much prize.
 
But I plainly see the reason
Why in vain I you pursued,
Her to gain ’twas out of season,
Who before the chaplain woo’d.
