 | The Grecian Story |  |
You may suppose, Love's Archer-boy this while
Close Ambush'd sate, with many a pleased Smile
Dimpling his Cheek, to see this amorous Duel,
Choice Lovers Scene; tho would not seem too cruel:
Brandish'd small Dart, then clap'd his Hands, as tho
Had plainly say'd; Thus pow'rful proves our Bow,
If task'd too far, that little God was sorry.
And from Clermanthe now will raise his Glory.

If task'd too far, that little God was sorry.
And from Clermanthe now will raise his Glory.
