ONce in a Morning sweet and fair As I went forth to take the Air, I spy'd a Nimph without Compare, was following the Gaberlunzy Man. I thought it had DIANA been, Or Nell of Troy that I had seen, I ask'd at her, What she did mean, by following the Gaberlunzy Man? A Council of the Gods above, They all convin'd and did approve, They all agreed, That I should love, and follow the Gaberlunzy Man. Although his Robes be not so fine, His Grace and Face appears divine, Although I were of Europe Queen, I'd follow the Gaberlunzy Man. Although he's not at my Command, I'll foot the Alpes and trade the Sand, Since I am bound in mutual Band, to follow the Gaberlunzy Man. I hope to see my Love again, Altho' I'm left to sigh and moan; I'll sell my Gown of Satain Green, for my own Gaberlunzy Man. More fine than the Pole Star above, On which th' uncertain Earth doth move, I've fix'd my Heart, I'll constant prove, to my dear Gaberlunzy Man. In Spight of Amours, in Spight of Fate, In Spight of those that do him hate,
My flaming Love shall never abate from my dear Gaberlunzy Man. When first I heard, and read long since, He was by Birth of noble Race: Pity my Heart did soon convince, To love the Gaberlunzy Man. But oh! when first his Mind he told, He ask'd me for his Bride; Behold, My Virgin Blushes could not hold, from loving the Gaberlunzy Man. In Extassie of Love I grew, I long'd, I sigh'd, I ran, I flew; My Heart did burn like Wine that's new, to my near Gaberlunzy Man. Tho' Cruelty does now combine, To stop such heavenly Bless like mine, My tender Years could ne're decline, from my dear Gaberlunzy Man. With him in tranced Joys I live, I ease his Cares, he does not grieve, Just Heavens may once us both relieve, and bless my Gaberlunzy Man. All Prophets tell, This happy Year, Will put an End to all Dispair, Make Rivels from Earth disappear, and love my Gaberlunzy Man. Ne're match with Rogues to your Disgrace, Take Caveliers into their Place, Then we'll bring forth a happy Race, to my dear Gaberlunzy Man.
