Happy free securely blessed
No beauty could disturb my rest
My amorous heart was in despair
For a new victorious fair
Then you descending on our plains
In foreign force renew my chains
Where here you rule without control
The mighty sovereign of my soul
Soft danger there
Fair angel
You don't care
Your smiles have more of conquering charm
Than all your native country's arms
Their troops we can expel with ease
Who vanquish only when we please
In your eyes oh there's the spell
Who can see them, and not rebel
You make us captives when you stay
Yet kill us if you go away
Soft danger there
Fair angel
You don't care
I feed the flame within
Which so torments me
That it both pains my heart
And yet contents me
Tis such a pleasing smart
And I so love it
That I had rather die
Than once remove it
Yet she for whom I grieve
Shall never know it
My tongue does not betray
Nor my eyes show it
Not a sigh nor a tear
My pain discloses
But they fall silently
Like dew on roses
