Colin and Phoebe . A PASTORAL . Colin . BE still , oh , ye Winds ! and attentive , ye Swains ! 't is Phoebe invites , and replies to my Strains . The Sun never rose on , search all the World thro' , A Shepherd so blest , or a fair one so true . A Shepherd , &c. Phoebe . Glide softly , ye Streams ! oh , ye Nymphs , round me throng ! 't is Colin commands , and enlivens my Song . Search all the World over , you never can find A Maiden so blest , or a Shepherd so kind . A Maiden , &c CHORUS . 't is Love , like the Sun , that gives Light to the Year , The sweetest of Blessings that Life can endear . Our Pleasures it brightens , drives Sorrow away , Gives Joy to the Night , and enlivens the Day . Colin With Phoebe beside me , the Seasons how gay ! And Winter's bleak Months are as pleasant as May ; The Summer's gay Verdure still springs as she treads , And Linnets and Nightingales sing thro' the Meads . Phoebe . When Colin is absent , 't is Winter all round ; How faint is the Sun-shine ▪ ●ow barren the Ground , Instead of the Linnets and Nightingale's Song , I hear the hoarse Raven croak all the Day long . Chorus ,

&c.

Colin . Over Hills , Dales , and Vallies , my Phoebe and I Together will wander , and Love shall be nigh ; Her Colin shall guard her safe all the long Day , And Phoebe at Night all his Pains shall repay . Phoebe . By Moon-light , when Shadows glide over the Plain , His Kisses shall chear me , his Arm shall sustain ; The dark-haunted Grove I can trace without Fear , And sleep in a Church-yard , if Colin is near . Chorus ,

&c.

Colin . Ye Shepherds that wanton it over the Plain , How fleeting your Transports ! how lasting your Pain Inconstancy shun , and reward the fair she , And learn to be happy from Phoebe and me . Phoebe . Ye Nymphs who the Pleasure of Love never try'd , Attend to my Strains , and take me for your Guide ; Your Hearts keep from Pride and Inconstancy free , And learn to be happy from Colin and me . Chorus ,

&c.
