A Remembrance.
[1]
On this swelling bank (once proud
Of its burthen) Cloris lay:
Here she smil'd, and did uncloud
Those bright Suns ecclipse the day.
2
Here we sate, and with kind art
She about me twin'd her arms,
Clasp'd in hers my hand and heart
Fetter'd by those pleasing charms.
3
Here my love and joys she crown'd
Whil'st the hours stood before me,
With a killing glance did wound
And a melting kiss restore me.
4
On the doun of either breast
Whil'st with joy my soul retir'd,
My resigning heart did rest
Till her lips new life inspir'd.
5
The renewing of these sights,
Doth with grief and pleasure fill me,
And the thought of those delights
Both at once revive and kill me.
