Since the toils and the hazards of War's at an end,
the pleasures of Love should succeed 'em,
the fair should present what the Senators send,
and compleat what they've decreed 'em.


Since the toils and the hazards of War's at an end,<br>
With Dances and Songs,
the pleasures of Love should succeed 'em,<br>
with Tambours and Flutes,
the fair should present what the Senators send,<br>
let the Maids show their Joy as they meet 'em;
and compleat what they've decreed 'em.<br>
with Cimbals and Harps,
 
with Viols and Lutes  
With Dances and Songs,<br>
let the Husbands and true Lovers greet 'em.
with Tambours and Flutes,<br>
