Daphnis by Chance his Seat reposing took
Beneath the Covert of a spreading Oak,
And Coridon and Thyrsis thither led
Their Flocks, that joyning now together fed:
She-Goats fair fruitful Coridon did keep,
The Charge of Thyrsis was his bleating Sheep,
Both in their Prime! and both Arcadian Swains!
Both apt and ready at alternate Strains.
