Sweet Nelly, my heart’s delight,
Be loving and no not slight
The proffer I make, for modesty’s sake;
I honour your beauty bright.
For love I profess, I can do no less,
Thou has my favour won;
And since I see your modesty,
I pray you agree, And fancy me,
Tho’ I’m but a farmer’s son.
“Sweet Nelly” was also the indicated tune for songs in John Watts' ballad opera The Lover’s Opera (London, 1730), and Henry Lintot’s The Footman (London, 1732).
