ODE II. To Cloe, on the Death of ---
I
You saw, my Cloë, t'other dayHow Phillis by untimely Fate
From Corydon was snatch'd away,
From Corydon, once happy, Mate.
II
How frightful did pale, gastly DeathSit in each Feature of her Face?
So must you once resign your Breath,
Depriv'd, like her, of ev'ry Grace.
III
That Beauty, so divinely bright,Which with such Ardour I adore,
46
O horrid Thought! must be no more.
IV
The proudest Fair, each Sex, and AgeBefore the cruel Tyrant fall;
Like Love himself in his blind rage
Indifferent he strikes at all.
V
Then let's enjoy the little whileThe Pow'rs allow, e'er hence we move:
Nought can the Cares of Life beguile
Like Mirth, and Truth, and equal Love.
