 | The Grecian Story |  |
O're-heated much, near Three Arriving there,
Proud Wife abroad (for walk conceiv'd, where-e're)
Through Garden strait he gently March'd, unfound,
Went towards the Grove, high wall'd, inclosed ground.
(Fine Grot, large Summer-house, nam'd long before)
With private Key unlock'd the outmost Dore.
On thence to th' Room, for coolness softly tracing,
Tall-branched Trees the Ardent Sun outfacing:
Choice, silken Couch there spread for Day's Repose
Whilst Drowsie Murmur Streams withall disclose.
