The NEW SONG OF NANNYSung by Miss Jameson in the ROTUNDAHark my Love, on ev’ry Spray, Each feather’d Warbler tunes his Lay,ʼTis Beauty fires the ravish’d Throng,And Love inspires the melting Song:Then let my raptur’d Notes arise,For Beauty darts from NANNY’s Eyes,And Love my rising Bosom warms, And fills my Soul with sweet Alarms.Wake, sweet Muse, the breathing Spring, With Rapture warms, Awake and sing;Awake, and join the vocal Throng, Who hail the Morning with a Song:To NANNY raise the cheerful Lay;O bid her haste and come away: In sweetest Smiles herself adorn,And add new Graces to the Morn.
