When First Amintas Sued for a Kiss, Z. 430 chords by Henry Purcell
Verse 1
G
C
When first a minter sued for a kiss,
G
D
My innocent heart was tender,
G
That though I pushed
C
him away from the place,
D
G
My eyes declared my heart was one.
C
I feel an artful coyness would use,
A
G
Before I the fault did surrender,
But love would suffer
C
no more such a blouse,
G
D
G
And soon, alas, my cheat was known.
C
He'd sit all day and laugh and play,
G
C
D
A thousand pretty things would say.
G
C
My hand he'd squeeze an
G
d press my knees
C
G
D
G
Till further on he bought my degrees.
C
My heart, just like a vessel at sea,
A
D
G
Would toss when a Mintus came near me,
C
But ah, so cunning a pilot was he,
G
Through doubts and fears
D
G
he'd still sail on.
C
I thought in him no danger could be,
A
D
So wisely he knew how to steer me.
G
C
But soon a lapse was brought to agree,
G
D
To taste of joys before
G
unknown.
Where might he boost
C
his faith at last?
D
How soon he found the golden coast.
G
Enjoy'd the oar,
C
G
and touch'd the shore,
C
G
Where never merchant went before.
