We shall not (Reader) here that Evenings talk,
Actions recount, each pleasant Garden-walk,
How view'd by both; those stately'sts Founts and Mases;
There th' Lady shew'd, Comandras first kind Blazes,
Toyings burst forth; her Young Ordellan there
Courted with Masques both gazing eye and eare:
There pointed she to th' Bow'r, where first Love-potion:
Held forth to her, that Candy'd amorous motion
There had she traced oft with Folded armes,
Fixt eyes on Earth and Heaven, those cunning Charms
Of hers, those spleenfull Spights (at length) t'oppose;
How Sigh'd, mus'd, wept! There, for conclusion, shows
That doubly amorous and fatall Grot
(Fatall to th' Whoor) nor lastly was forgot
That dancing Antick stage, the adjoyning Grove;
Oft whilst Polindor did with th' armes of Love
Intwine his Spouse, how breathing forth Soul even
In Joyes to her, and thankfull Praise to heaven!
