Song: ’Tis strange Sister Ruth that the spirit within...

by Felice Giardini . A Catch for Three voices , in A major

Text:

‘Tis strange Sister Ruth that the spirit within should set you a preaching and tempt me to sin,
when you mutter and cry “Ah” and “Oh”, sure you feel some emotion in the regions below?
for when e’er I breath short, sigh and lift up my eyes, the spirt then moves me all the time ’twixt my thighs.
