Henry Purcell
Love in their little veins inspires - (The History of Timon of Athens, The Man-Hater, Z. 632)
Love in their little veins inspires
Love in their little veins inspires
Their chee...eerful notes, their soft desires

Love in their little veins inspires
Love in their little veins inspires
Their chee...eerful notes, their soft desires

While heat, while heat
Makes buds and blossoms spring
Those pretty, pretty couples love and sing

But winter puts out
Puts out their desire
And half the year they want
They want love's fire

But winter puts out
Puts out their desire
And half the year they want
They want love's fire


[ Thomas Shadwell ]

Love in their little veins inspires
Their cheerful notes, their soft desires
While heat makes buds and blossoms spring
Those pretty couples love and sing
But winter puts out their desire
And half the year they want love's fire
