to your rude health,

Song: See, Phillis, yonder bower with ev’ry beauteous...

by Jonathan Battishill . A Catch for Three voices , in D major
3/4

Text:

See, Phillis, yonder bower
with ev’ry beauteous flow’r
invite us to the shade,
there clasping thee, my treasure,
in ecstasies of pleasure,
we’ll both together lie,
while you with looks expiring,
dissolving still desiring,
we’ll both together die.
