Fairest isle, all isles excelling,
seat of pleasure and of love,
Venus here will choose her dwelling,
and forsake her Cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation care
and envy will remove;
that poisons passion, and despair
that dies for love.

Gentle murmurs, sweet complaining,
sighs that blow the fire of love,
soft repulses, kind disdaining,
shall be all the pains you prove.
Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty,
grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove;
and as these excel in beauty,
those shall be renown'd for love.
