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….
