ODE VII. To Asterie.

Do not for ever pine and mourn;
For if the Winds propitious prove,
Gyges will to your Arms return,
His Wealth increasing with his Love.
Now tost by Storms to distant Shores,
He curses his relentless Stars;
69

With soft Complaints consumes the Hours,
And passes all the Night in Tears.
Mean while, some Foreign Chloe tries
By am'rous Wiles to win his Heart;
And bids the Envoy of her Sighs
Exert each soft and wanton Art.
She tells, how Prætus' lustful Wife
With Crimes invented by her Rage,
Had almost reach'd her Lover's Life,
Too cold and chast for such an Age.
She tells, how Peleus scorn'd the Dame,
Who left him to the cruel Fates;
And to provoke his am'rous Flame,
A thousand curious Tales relates.
But all in vain: He stops his Ears;
And all her artful Charms defies:
Do you, like him, avoid these Snares,
Lest some gay Youth your Heart surprize.
In Mars's Field Enipeus rides
The manag'd Steed, by all admir'd;
With pliant Force the Waves divides,
And swims the Tuscan Stream untir'd.
But though he calls you, Cruel Fair,
Do not relent, but shut your Door;
The Dusk and dang'rous Shades beware,
And shun the Serenading Hour.
