The Frantick Mother : OR , Cupid in Captivity . To an Excellent New Tune .

Licensed according to Order .

I. AS Cupid roguishly one day , Had all alone stole out to play , The Muses caught the little , little , little Knave , And Captive Love to Beauty gave , The Muses caught the little , little , little Knave , And Captive Love to Beauty gave : The laughing Dame soon mist her Son , And here and there , and here and there , and here & there , and here & there distracted run , Distracted run , and here and there , and here & there , and here & there distracted run : And still his Liberty to gain , And still his Liberty to gain , offers his Ransom : But in vain , in vain , in vain , The willing , willing Priso'ner still hugs his Chain , And vows he 'll ne'er be free , And vows he 'll ne'er be free , No , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , No , no , no , no , no , he 'll ne'er be free again . No , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , No , no , no , no , no , he 'll ne'er be free again . II. Tho' he in Fetter lies confin'd , So pleasant is it to his Mind , That ever while he waited , waited , waited still , His Heart with Joys the Nymph did fill , That ever while he waited , waited , waited still , His Heart with Joys the Nymph did fill , So that the pleasing pain he bore , And would not wish , and would not wish , and would not wish for Freedom more , For Freedom more , and would not wish , and would not wish & would not wish for Freedom more : Because that charming Beauty bright , Because that charming Beauty bright , still he must adore ; For she 's fair , she 's fair , she 's fair , And never , never can he avoid the snare , But must be still confin'd , But must be still confin'd , Now , now , now , now , now , now , now , now now , Now , now , now , now , now , she is so charming fair , Now , now , now , now , now , now , now , now , now , Now , now , now , now , now , she 's so charming fair . III. The smiling Mother when she found Her Son was so encompast round , She needs would help her little , little , little Boy , And all the Charms of Love destroy ; She needs would help her little , little , little , Boy , And all the Charms of Love destroy ; In vain she strove ; for Beauty Bright , Was evermore , was evermore , Was evermore his Heart's delight ; His Heart's delight , was evermore , Was evermore , was evermore his Heart's delight . To the fair Saint on Wings of Love , To the fair Saint on Wings of Love , Oft he takes his flight , Where his thrall , his thrall , his thrall , Is sweeter to him than the rich Honey fall ; There will he still reside , There will he still reside , For Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , do's Conquer one and all . For Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , Love , does Conquer one and all . FINIS .
