Verses wrote extempore on a Gentleman's playing on the Flute . I. OH ! cease thy too harmonious Strain , Nor thus my ravish'd Soul surprize : What new Ideas , pleasing Pains , Does by the sweet Inchantment rise ? II . Lull'd by the dear bewitching Sound , Each jarring Passion's charm'd to rest ; Yet my Soul feels a pleasing Wound , And sweet Disorders fill my Breast . III . Forbear to show thy heavenly Art , Nor aim a Conquest o'er my Mind ; By Musick soften'd to the Dart , Love may an easy Entrance find .
