GUEST Lyr Req: For Those Who Do Not Live Where They Love (12) RE: Lyr Req: For Those Who Do Not Live Where They Love 20 May 23


I found this when looking for something else....

Tim Radford

Now I am Living where I Love.
-        An Answer to I Live Not Where I Love
-        Pitts, Printer, Andrew Street, 7 Dials

You virgins fair pray give attention
To these lines which I have penned
My joys are more than I can mention
Cupid now has proved my friend
Long his arrows made me anguish
Whilst I wandered like a dove
Thro’ the groves of my dear Thomas
But now I’m living where I love.

Like echo thro’ the glens and mountains
Long I wandered for his sake
Every moment years was counted
While my tender heart did ache
But gracious heaven heard my petition
And sent down pleasures from above
Hope has settled now my station
But now I’m living where I love.

These eyes that were sad with sorrow
Now look cheerful bright & gay
And those cheeks long pale and hollow
Now excel the rose in May
Fear not maids that are deserted
For kind heaven can remove
The hardest heart with hale invested
As he did my own true love.

My prattling babes with love inspire
Every moment of the day
And whilst they are seated round the fire
Each tuneful lip drives cares away
At night the gentle robes of Morpheus
Crown me with joy me and my dove
Whilst in each other’s arms were sporting
My joys are now I’m where I love….
