Supper being past, the Duke
Orsamnes
shews,
Florena too his Garden brave (for Close)
Founts, Walks, and Bow'rs; Neat, curious ev'ry Thing;
Clermanthe to Orsamnes Whispering:
There th' Arbour was, where made her first Bold Motion
That Concubine, Brisoldan's Base Love-potion:
There Mus'd She oft, then walk'd with folded arms,
Fear'd Dreadful Wrath, when saw dispell'd her Charms;
Nor prov'd that Grove, the Room, large Water-grot
(Fatal to th' Whore) where th' Amorous Songs, forgot:
When Cornets heard from Branches Round did cease,
Loud Hobois, last, wild Satyrs Dance to please:
Long Arched Bow'r withal, through which she fled,
When Pois'nous Broth thrown out, near Murthered:
View'd Sun's departing Beams for more Content,
Whilst former Care did present Joys augment.
