Songs Compleat,
Pleasant and Divertive, &c.
A Mad Song.
By a Lady distracted with Love. Sung in one of my Comedies of Don Quixote: The Notes to it done by the late famous Mr. Henry Purcell; which, by reason of their great Length, are not Printed in this Book, but may be found at the Musick Booksellers singly, or in his Orpheus Brittannicus; performing in the Tune all the Degrees of Madness.
[Sullenly Mad.]
Rom rosie Bowers, where sleeps the God of Love,
Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly, fly, fly,
Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly.

Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly, fly, fly,
Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly.
Teach me in soft melodious Strains to move
In tender Passion my Heart's darling Joy.
Ah, let the Soul of Musick tune my Voice,
To win dear Strephon, who my soul enjoys.
In tender Passion my Heart's darling Joy.
Ah, let the Soul of Musick tune my Voice,
To win dear Strephon, who my soul enjoys.
Mirth.
