Mrs. Eliz. Wheeler, under the name of the lost Shepardesse.
AMong the Mirtles, as I walkt,Love and my sighs thus intertalkt:Tell me, said I, in deep distreffe,Where I may find my Shepardesse.Thou foole, said Love, know'st thou not this?In every thing that's sweet, she is.In yond' Carnation goe and seek,There thou shalt find her lip and cheek:In that ennamel'd Pansie by,There thou shalt have her curious eye:
descriptionPage 121
In bloome of Peach, and Roses bud,There waves the Streamer of her blood.'Tis true, said I, and thereuponI went to pluck them one by one,To make of parts an union;But on a sudden all were gone.At which I stopt; Said Love, these beThe true resemblances of thee;For as these flowers, thy joyes must die,And in the turning of an eye;And all thy hopes of her must wither,Like those short sweets ere knit together.
