lyrics

Recitativo
As Tink’ring Tom the Streets his Trade did cry,
He saw his lovely Silvia Passing by,
In Dust Cart high advanc’d, The Nymph was plac’d
With the rich Cinders round her lovely Waist,
Tom with uplifted Hands th’occasion blest,
And thus in soothing strains, the Maid addrest.

Aria
Oh Silvia! While you drive your Carts
To pick up Dust you steal our Hearts,
You take our Dust & steal our Hearts,
That mine is gone alas! Is true
& dwells among the Dust with you;

Oh lovely Silvia ease my Pain!
Give me the Heart you stole again,
Give me my Heart out of your Cart,
Give me the Heart you stole again.
