Catches, canons and drinking songs

Song: Chloe, the wonder of her sex, ’tis well her...

by John Stafford Smith . A Catch for Four voices , in G major

Text:

Chloe, the wonder of her sex,
’tis well her heart is tender,
how might such killing eyes perplex,
did virtue but defend her,
but nature, merciful and kind,
not bent to vex, but please us,
has to her boundless beauty joined
a boundless will to ease us.
