LYRICS
Fairest Isle, all isles exciting,
Seat of pleasure and of love,
Venus here, will choose her dwelling,
And forsake her Cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation
Care an envy will remove;
Jealousy, that poisons passion,
And dispair, that dies for love.

Gentle murmurs, sweet complaining...
