TUNE–“ROY’S WIFE.”
CHORUS.
DEIGN to love me, charming MARY !
Deign to love me, charming MARY !
Ease this love-sick heart of mine
By kind returns of love, sweet MARY !
Long at thy beauty’s shrine I’ve bow’d,
With love unfeign’d and true, sweet MARY !
To offer incense there I’ve vow’d,
Tho’ I’m repuls’d by you, sweet MARY !
Deign to, &c.
I often try to break the chain
That binds my heart to thee, sweet MARY !
But, ah! the effort gives such pain,
‘Tis death must set me free, sweet MARY !
Deign to, &c.
Ere I became thy beauty’s slave,
My bosom knew no care, sweet MARY !
But now I seek the lonely cave,
Which echo’s my despair, sweet MARY !
Deign to, &c.
O! lay aside the cold disdain
That clouds thy lovely brow, sweet MARY !
And smile consenting on your swain,
Whose bliss depends on you, sweet MARY !
Deign to love me, charming MARY !
Deign to love me, charming MARY !
Ease this love-sick heart of mine
By kind returns of love, sweet MARY !
