Chapter 20

A ZEPHYR.

Ye gentle youth, follow Love's sweet and tender glow; In happy days and fair, From passion's joys do not forbear.-- 'Tis to deceive they tell you, aye, You should avoid the wooing sigh, And fear the pressing suit.-- 'Tis now the time to learn What fires within you burn!

_They sing together._

All gentle hearts in turn With love must glow; And greater charms that burn A greater debt will owe.

A ZEPHYR (_alone_). A youthful heart and tender At last must yield surrender.

BOTH (_together_). All gentle hearts in turn With love must glow; And greater charms that burn A greater debt will owe.

A CUPID (_alone_). What boots to play the truant's part, And shield yourselves against the dart? The sunny day is flown and gone, The hour lost may ne'er be won.

BOTH (_together_). All gentle hearts in turn With love must glow; And greater charms that burn A greater debt will owe.
