III. To Cloe.
My Cloë, still be only mine!My faithful Heart shall still be thine!
As Vines around the Elm entwine,
So will we meet, so closely join,
And Envy at our Joys shall pine.
In Gold, and Gems my Love shall shine,
On the most costly Dishes dine,
And drink the richest, purest Wine.
Thus on each Pleasure we'll refine,
Our Lives one smooth, one even Line;
And when those Lives we must resign,
One Tomb shall both our Hearts inshrine,
One Verse record our Loves divine.
