Charming Celia Lies upon Her Bridal Bed
Anonymous(Catch in Wit and Mirth, 1682) SEE how Charming Celia lies upon her Bridal bed; | |
| There’s no such beauty at Court, | |
| She’s fit for the sport; | |
| And she looks so lovely white and red, | |
| After the first and second time. | 5 |
| The Bridegroom ’gin’s to slack his pace, | |
| But the cry’s come, come, come to me; | |
| And lay thy Cheek close to my face. | |
| Tinkle, tinkle, ting, goes the Bell to the Bed, whilst common time they keep: | |
| With a parting kiss | 10 |
| They end their bliss, | |
| And so retire to sleep. | |
