SONGS, SET TO MUSIC BY THE MOST EMINENT MASTERS: 18 by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: NANNY BLUSHES WHEN I WOO HER
Last Line: THE OTHER, TAKE ME IN HER ARMS.
Subject(s): BREASTS; KISSES; LIPS; LOVE;

NANNY blushes when I woo her,
And, with kindly-chiding eyes,
Faintly says, I shall undo her,
Faintly, O forbear! she cries.

But her breasts while I am pressing,
While to hers my lips I join,
Warmed she seems to taste the blessing,
And her kisses answer mine.

Undebauched by rules of honour,
Innocence with nature charms;
One bids, gently push me from her,
The other, take me in her arms.
