song.—on chloris being ill
tune—“aye wauken o.”
chorus—long, long the night,
heavy comes the morrow
while my soul's delight
is on her bed of sorrow.
can i cease to care?
can i cease to languish,
while my darling fair
is on the couch of anguish?
long, long, &c.
ev'ry hope is fled,
ev'ry fear is terror,
slumber ev'n i dread,
ev'ry dream is horror.
long, long, &c.
hear me, powers divine!
oh, in pity, hear me!
take aught else of mine,
but my chloris spare me!
long, long, &c.
