Belinda
Language: English
Belinda's pretty pleasing form Does my happy fancy charm, Her prittle prattle, tittle tattles All engaging, most obliging; Whilst I'm pressing, clasping, kissing, Oh! How she does my soul alarm. There is such magic in her eyes, Does my wondering heart surprise; Her prinking, mimping, twinking, pinking, Whilst I'm courting for transporting; How like an angel she panting lies.
