OUT OF HORACE.
BY My Ld. R.
HE.
WHile I was Monarch of your Heart,Crown'd with a Love, where none had part,Each Mortal did with Envy die,No God but wish'd, that he were I.
SHE.
While you ador'd no Charms but mine,And vow'd that they did all out-shine;More Celebrated was my Name,Than that of the bright Grecian Dame.
HE.
Chloe's the Saint that I implore,Chloe's the Goddess I adore;
descriptionPage 263
For whom to die the Gods I pray'd,If Fates wou'd spare the Charming Maid.
SHE.
Amyntas is my Lover's Name,For whom I burn with mutual Flame;For whom I twice wou'd die with Joy,If Fates wou'd spare the Charming Boy.
HE.
If I once more shou'd wear your Chain,And take my Lydia back again;If banish Chloe from my Breast,That you may there for ever rest.
SHE.
Tho he is Charming as a God,Serene and Gay, Divinely good,You rough as Billows raging high,With you I chuse to live, and die,
