Analysis of Songs Set To Music: 11. Set By Mr. De Fesch
Matthew Prior 1664 – 1721
Morella, charming without art,
And kind without design,
Can never lose the smallest part
Of such a heart as mine.
Obliged a thousand several ways,
It ne'er can break her chains,
While passion which her beauties raise
My gratitude maintains.
