1. Sound the trumpet

Sound the trumpet,
sound the trumpet,
Sound, sound,
sound the trumpet till around
you make the listening shores rebound
you make the listening shores rebound
the listening shores rebound.


On the spritely Oboy,
the spritely Oboy play
all instruments of joy
all, all, all,
all the instruments of joy
of joy, of joy,
that skilful numbers can employ
to celebrate, to celebrate
the glories of this day,
the glories, the glories of this day.


2. Lost is my quiet

Lost is my quiet forever,
Lost is my quiet forever,
Lost forever, forever lost.
Lost is my quiet forever.


Ever lost is life's happiest part.
Lost all, all, all my tender endeavours,
to touch an insensible heart.


But tho' my despair, is past curing
But tho' my despair, my despair is past curing,
and much endeserv'd is my fate.


I'll show by a patient enduring,
My love, I'll show by a patient enduring
My love is unmov'd, is as mov'd as her hate.


3. What can we poor females do ?

What can we, what can we poor females do?
When pressing, teasing, pressing, teasing, Lovers sue?
What can we, what can we poor, poor females do?
What can we, what can we poor, poor females do?
Fate affords no other way, than denying or complying,
than denying or complying.
What can we, what can we poor females do?
When pressing, teasing, pressing, teasing, Lovers sue?
What can we, what can we poor females do?
And resenting or consenting,
and resenting or consenting does alike our hopes betray
What can we, what can we poor females do?
When pressing, teasing, pressing, teasing, Lovers sue?
What can we, what can we poor females do?


4. No, resistance is but vain

No, no, no,
No, no, no, resistance,
Resistance is but vain,
No, no, no,
No, no, no, resistance,
Resistance is but vain,
Vain, vain, vain,
Resistance is but vain,
And only adds new weight,
And only adds new weight,
And only adds new weight to cupid's chain;
No, no, no,
No, no, no,
No, no, no,
No, no, no,
Resistance is but vain,
No, no, no,
Resistance is but vain.
A thousand, thousand,thousand, thousand ways,
A thousand, thousand,thousand, thousand arts,
The tyrant, the tyrant, the tyrant,
The tyrant knows how to captivate our hearts.
Sometimes he sighs, he sighs employs,
and somtimes tries the universal language of the eyes
The fierce, with fierceness he destroys
The soft with tenderness decoys.
The soft with tenderness decoys.
He kills the strong,
He kills the strong with joy, with joy,
He kills the strong with joy,
The weak with pain, with pain
The weak with pain, with pain, no, no, no.


5. Shepherd, leave decoying

Shepherd, shepherd leave docoying,
Pipes as sweet as summer's day;
But a little after toying women have shot to pay.
Here are mariage vows for signing,
Set their mark that cannot write
After that without repining,
Play and welcome day and night,
Play and welcome, play and welcome,
Play and welcome day and night.
