KIND LADY Or , The Loves of Stella and Adonis . A new Court song much in request . To a new tune . Or , Heyboys up go we , the charming Nymph , or Jenny Gin.

THe night her blackest sabled wore , all glooming were the Skies , And glittering Stars there were no more then those in Stella's Eyes : When at her Fathers Gate I knockt , where I had often been , And shrouded only in her & mock , The fair one let me in . Fast lock'd within my close embrace she blushing lay asham'd ; Her swelling Breasts , and glowing face , and every touch inflam'd My eager passion ; I obey'd , resolving the Fort to win , And her fond heart was soon betray'd :

Then , then , beyond expressing , immortal was the joy , I knew no greater Blessing , so happy then was I : And she , transporter with delight , oft prayed me to come again , And kindly vow'd that e'ry night she 'd rise and let me in . But , ah ! at last she prov'd with Bearn , and sighing sate , and dull ; And I , who had as much concern , lookt then just like a fooll : Her lovely eyes with tears ran down , repenting her rash Sin , She sigh'd and curst that fatal hour that e're she let me in . But who cou'd cruelty deceive , or from such beauty part ? I lov'd her so I could not leave . the Charmer for my heart ; But wedded , and conceal'd the Crime ; thus all was well again , And now she thanks the blessed time . that e're she let me in . Such wanton youngsters seldom prove so true at heart as I , But when they gain a Damsels Love , too oft away they fly : Whilest I such Treachery abhor , for 't is a deadly sin , And now no cause she has to grieve that she did let me in . Those Rosie-blushes that did stain her Cheeks , do now grow pale , Her heart is now rewv'd again , sighs did with me prevail : She grieved was , and I perplext , but now rejoyce again , And Stella now no more is vext because she let me in . When young Adonis call'd to mind the tricks of wanton youth ; He cry'd , my Stella she was kind : this is the very truth . Do , she , thou now hast got the knack a tender heart to win , Good Lodging thou shalt never lack , for I will let thee in . With fiery eyes he then beheld Stella , his hearts delight ; He bow'd to love he was compell'd by charms of beauty bright : A thousand times he did , her kiss , and then she did begin , And said , there is no joy like this : I 'me glad I have let thee in .
