Ode XXIII. To Chloe.

Chloe flies me like a Fawn,
Which through some sequester'd Lawn
Panting seeks the Mother-Deer,
Not without a panic Fear
Of the gentle-breathing Breeze,
And the Motion of the Trees.
If the curling Leaves but shake,
If a Lizard stir the Brake,
Frighted it begins to freeze
Trembling both at Heart and Knees.
But not like a Tyger dire,
Nor a Lion fraught with Ire,
I pursue my lovely Game
To destroy thy tender Frame.
Haste thee, leave thy Mother's Arms,
Ripe for Love are all thy Charms.
