ON A Young LADY, Who accidentally fell into the RIVER.
As Chloe floated down the Water,The little Loves came paddling a'ter;
They peep'd, and they laugh'd; for they thought it had been
Their own Mother Venus, the beautiful Queen:
But when they found the sad mistake,
They help'd her out for Venus' sake;
They wip'd her, and dry'd her; by her Dimples they swore,
That they ne'er were deceiv'd in their Mother before.
