Air - "Nancy'S To The Greenwood Gane." I. Farewell, Thou Stream That Winding Flows Around Eliza'S Dwelling! O Mem'Ry! Spare The Cruel Throes Within My Bosom Swelling: Condemn'D To Drag A Hopeless Chain, And Yet In Secret Languish, To Feel A Fire In Ev'Ry Vein, Nor Dare Disclose My Anguish. Ii. Love'S Veriest Wretch, Unseen, Unknown, I Fain My Griefs Would Cover; The Bursting Sigh, Th' Unweeting Groan, Betray The Hapless Lover. I Know Thou Doom'St Me To Despair, Nor Wilt, Nor Canst Relieve Me; But Oh, Eliza, Hear One Prayer - For Pity'S Sake Forgive Me! Iii. The Music Of Thy Voice I Heard, Nor Wist While It Enslav'D Me; I Saw Thine Eyes, Yet Nothing Fear'D, 'Till Fears No More Had Sav'D Me: The Unwary Sailor Thus Aghast, The Wheeling Torrent Viewing; 'Mid Circling Horrors Sinks At Last In Overwhelming Ruin.
