CLORIS AND FANNY.
Cloris! if I were Persia's king,
I'd make my graceful queen of thee;
While Fanny, wild and artless thing,
Should but thy humble handmaid be.
I'd make my graceful queen of thee;
While Fanny, wild and artless thing,
Should but thy humble handmaid be.
There is but one objection in it—
That, verily, I'm much afraid
I should, in some unlucky minute,
Forsake the mistress for the maid.
