Vrg'd with his fury like a wounded Deer
O're these hee fled, and now approching neer,
Had reach'd the Nymph with his harmonious lay,
Whom all his charmes could not incline to stay.
Yet what hee sung in his immortall straine,
Though unsuccesfull, was not sung in vaine,
All but the Nymph that should redress his wrong,
Attend his passion, and approve his song.
Like Phoebus thus acquiring unsought praise,
Hee catch'd at love, and fill'd his arme with bayse.
