Song: Pious Selinda goes to prayers
By William Congreve (16701729)
P
IOUS
Selinda goes to prayers
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fools in tears
When she believes Ill leave her.
Would I were free from this restraint,
5
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she could make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner!
