Lyrics: Anonymus
Music: John Ernest Galliard
SYRINX
Toil’d and Impatient have I sought you long,
Neglectfull Nymphs! Were you not summon’d
Soon as the Sun shou’d gild the Mountains tops
Here on Old Ladon’s Verdant Banks to meet?
It suits not Cynthia’s Train to Loiter thus,
And frolick with Licentious Sylvans.
Or are your Solem Vows forgot,
And do your Bosoms glow with Wanton pleasures?
