6
In thankful Song, whilst from well-shaded Ground,
Orsamnes heard, applauds; choice female Art:
Found now more ling'ring thoughts, loth to Depart.
Good mind he had to see that place inclos'd,
Then view those Lips, those Hands which form'd compos'd,
These warbled sounds, if might be termed Fair,
Whose Voice and Touch proclaim'd themselves so rare:
Then would be gone. Thus rouz'd, with gentle paces
He stalk'd about that Hedg, through se'vral places
Sight strove to dart, till found reserved Dore;
Not lock'd, forgot; one Person saw, no more.
