The words to the song:To Fanny fair I would impart the cause of all my woeThat beauty which has won my hear she scarcely seems to knowUnskilled in Arts of Woman kind with out design she charmsHow can the sparkling eye be blind which every bosom warms Which every bosom warms.

SweetThan opening budding role.But the delicious fragrant role, That charms the sences (sic) much,Upon a thorny brier grows,And would when e’er you touchAnd wounds He.
