Then with his Eyes all full of Fire,
And winning Phrases, he
Intreated her, to ease desire,
And grant some remedy;
Allur'd with Amr'ous Looks the Maid
Fearing he might Prevail,
Begg'd that he wou'd no more Perswade
A Virgin that was Frail.

Fear not, dear Nymph, Replyes the Swain▪
There's none can know our Bliss;
None can relate our Loves again,
While this place silent is.
Then Damon with a lov'd Surprize,
Leapt close into her Arms,
With Ravishing delights he Dyes,
And melts with Thousand Charms.
FINIS.
