NAked Love, did to thine Eye,
Chloris, once to warm him, fly;
But it's subtle Flame, and Light,
Scorch'd his Wings, and spoyl'd his sight.

Forc'd from thence he went to rest
In the soft Couch of thy Brest:
But there met a Frost so great,
As his Torch extinguish'd strait.

When poor Cupid, thus, (constrain'd
His cold Bed to leave) complain'd;
'Lass! what lodging's here for Me,
If all Ice and Fire She be.
