Orsamnes from those Suns her Eyes beheld
Sweet gentle Morn to break, fair Hopes reveal'd,
Made new Love-charge for Marriage-grant, assent,
Which should be Ingagement-like, with Joy, Content
Writ on his Heart: His Case because (as there
Most briefly told) long, Formal ways, whate're
Admitted not; open Address and known;
Thus crav'd her present Grant, that She'd alone
Meet strait without the Grove, on shaded ground;
Thence walk to large Dervan; close Lodging found.
