Her well-turn'd limbs confess • The lucky hand of Jove; *** Her features all express

The beauteous queen of love :
What flames my nerves invade,

When I behold the breast ?
Of that too charming maid

Rife, suing to be press'd!"... :?

Venus round Fanny's waift

..." Has her own Ceftus bound, With guardian Cupids gracd,

.
Who dance the circle round. /..
How happy must he be, die

Who shall her zone unloofe ! . .
That bliss to all, bụt me,
May heaven and she refuse.

SONG

W Henever, Chloe, I begin

Your heart like mine to move,
You tell me of the crying sin

Of unchafte lawless love.

How can that paffion be a fin,

Which gave to Chloe birth? How can those joys but be divine,

Which make a heaven on earth?

To wed, mankind the priest trepann'd,

By some fly fallacy,
And disobey'd God's great command,

Increase and multiply.

You say that love's a crime; content:

Yet this allow you must,
More joy's in heav'n if one repent,

Than over ninety just.

Sin then, dear girl, for heaven's fake,

Repent and be forgiven;
Bless me, and by repentance make

A holy day in heaven.
