[VI. For Chloris long I sigh'd in vain]
1.
For Chloris long I sigh'd in vain,Nor could her bosom move,
She met my vows with cold disdain,
And scorn return'd for Love.
At length, grown weary of her pride,
I left the haughty Maid,
Corinna's fetters now I try'd,
Who love for love repaid.
81
2.
With her the pleasing hours I waste,With her such joys I prove,
As kindred Souls alone can taste,
When join'd in mutual Love.
Ye Shepherds here, nor slight my strain,
Fly, fly the scornful Fair,
Kind Nymphs you'll find to ease your pain,
And soften ev'ry care.
