SYLVIA FOR SHAME. English, Air (3/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The tune was set by Captain Pack and was printed in Aphra Behn's (1640-1689) Poems upon several occasions with, A voyage to the island of love.
A Pox upon this needless Scorn:
Sylvia for shame the Cheat give o'er:
The End to which the Fair are born,
Is not to keep their Charms in store:
But lavishly dispose in haste
Of Joys which none but Youth improve;
Joys which decay when Beauty's past;
And who, when Beauty's past, will love?
