FANCY'S ALL

from Musical Miscellany, 1731

by: Mr. Mitchell

LACK, White, Yellow or Red,

Woman's a charming lovely Creature,

Get her but fairly to Bed

And boggle no more about the Matter,

'Tis not Complexion

That causes Affection;

Nor Graces appearing,

That make her endearing;

But Fancy in Lovers,

Such secrets discovers

As presently set their Spirits in motion.

Woman's a Treasure,

Created for Pleasure;

And what are their Faces,

Compared to Embraces?

If Joan is but ready,

She's good as her Lady:

A Proof that Delight is the Daughter of Notion.
