[Licander in life has one object alone—]
Licander in life has one object alone—He hopes to find out the Philosopher's stone;
Day and night in his study Orlando we see,
Intent upon squaring the circle is he;
While clearly to comprehend Chloe's caprice,
Is the task which incessantly troubles my peace.
Chloe! say to which first will the palm be decreed?
Which, think you, will first be the one to succeed?
