The Pendants.
Those Aspes of Gold with Gems that shine,And in Enammel'd Curles do twine,
Why Chloris in each Ear
Dost thou for Pendants wear?
—I now the hidden meaning guess:
Those Mystick signs express
The stings thine Eyes do dart
Killing as Snakes into my Heart:
And shew that to my Prayers
Thine Ears are deaf as theirs.
