XXXVIII
SONG
When first Pastora came to Town,
The fresh Desire of every Heart,
Her Innocence so fenc'd her own,
She laught at Cupid and his Dart.
The fresh Desire of every Heart,
Her Innocence so fenc'd her own,
She laught at Cupid and his Dart.
Her Looks might all the World enflame,
Themselves, yet cold as freezing Snow;
Which the bold Hand that thinks to tame,
Soon with unusual Heat will glow.
Themselves, yet cold as freezing Snow;
Which the bold Hand that thinks to tame,
Soon with unusual Heat will glow.
As when a Comet does appear,
We Stars and Moon no more respect;
So while Pastora guilds our Sphere,
All former Beauties we neglect.
We Stars and Moon no more respect;
So while Pastora guilds our Sphere,
All former Beauties we neglect.
