Epigram.
[When Venus, by Anchises woo'd]
When Venus, by Anchises woo'd,Contriv'd to make him fully bless'd,
She seem'd a Mortal, when pursu'd,
But prov'd a Goddess, when possess'd.
Succeeding Beauties her design
Unhappily revers'd discover;
Before enjoyment all Divine;
No more than Women, when 'tis over.
