Love Surpris'd
O Cloris! 'twas unkindly doneO Cloris! 'twas unkindly done, first to invade me with your Eyes; and when my yielding heart was won, then to begin your tyrannies; The generous Lion straight grows meek, and gently spares the fawning Chase, but the submissive wretch may seek in vain for pity from that Face; Where while inchanting Syrens sing, th'alured Mariner is wrackt, so whirling gulfs destruction bring, and overwhelm what they attract.
