<L><GAP DESC="music"> As <HI>Celia</HI> was walking one day in a grove,</L>
<L><GAP DESC="music"> She play'd on her Flute, y^e de|lights of true love;</L>
<L><GAP DESC="music"> cry'd oh that I cou'd attain to the bli&s;s,</L>
<L><GAP DESC="music"> for to kno&spcDash;w, what a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>

<L>I've heard my dear Mother, say when she was young,</L>
<L>Before she was married, she thought the time long;</L>
<L>And love is a pleasure, I fancy by this,</L>
<L>I must know, w^t a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I'd fain be a Mother, I'm charming and young,</L>
<L>Why shou'd I loose teeming? when beauty is gon,</L>
<L>The young men will slight, and deny me the bli&s;s,</L>
<L>I must know, w^t a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Shepherd was near, and he heard her complain,</L>
<L>He flew to her aid. When the Nymph saw the swain,</L>
<L>The Rose and the Lilly did spread her fair face.</L>
<L>I must die, then y^e swain did reply, or y^r beauty imbrace.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>No, no I'm too young S^r. my Mother does say,</L>
<L>Let's try say'd the Shepherd, on these cocks of hay;</L>
<L>He lay'd her down gently, which was not ami&s;s,</L>
<L>For to shew, w^t a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She cry'd lovely Shepherd, I pray now forbear.</L>
<L>The thoughts of my Mother, does put me in fear;</L>
<L>Ne'er fear quoth y^e Shepherd, twill hinder our bli&s;s,</L>
<L>You shall know, w^t a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then she to his power, a victim did fall,</L>
<L>He learnt her a le&s;son that's plea&s;ing to all,</L>
<L>And made her a Mother, there's no harm in this.</L>
<L>She does know, w^t a young man can do, love is more than a ki&s;s.</L>
