The attribution of this poem is questionable.

While thro' the Flow'ry Meads glad Isis stray'd,
Enamour'd Tame pursu'd the lovely Maid:
With silent Haste to her Embraces flies,
And on her Bosom sinks in endless Bliss.
Now both so one, one fruitful Bed still bears,
Alike the happy Change is His and Hers.
Tame, what his charming Isis loves, enjoys;
What's Tame's delight, alike is Hers and His.
So One, so happy in their UNION grown!
Like Britain's self, in Thames they're now but One.
