 | The Grecian Story |  |
Orsamnes lov'd, never before till now
That taking way (such Form, so beauteous too)
Did Woman contemplate; pierc'd through the Eyes:
Th' unlook'd-for Chance might more withal surprize.
Strong, secret Charm like Plant still there detain'd,
Porter forgot, past Griefs, Love primely raign'd
